    Prayers will be said at Ripon Cathedral tonight for her Majesty the Queen after her doctors expressed concern for her health.

    Early this afternoon doctors issued a statement saying the 96-year-old Queen's health was a concern and that she was comfortable at Balmoral.  Members of the royal family have travelled to Scotland to be by her side.

    This evening at Ripon Cathedral, evensong prayers will be said for her majesty and the royal family.

    The Bishop of Ripon, the right reverend Dr Helen-Ann Hartley issued this statement:

    With so many others across the world, I send my prayers, thoughts and very best wishes to Her Majesty The Queen and all members of the Royal Family at this time of deep concern about Her Majesty’s health.
    Our Cathedrals and churches in the Diocese of Leeds are open for people who want to gather in quiet contemplation, to light a candle if that is your tradition, and simply offer their own words, silent or spoken, and their thoughts.
    As Archbishop Justin, the Archbishop of Canterbury has tweeted, ‘May God’s presence strengthen and comfort Her Majesty, her family, and those who are caring for her at Balmoral’.
