‘Let’s fight now for a better future for them’

Sunday, September 18 has been marked as a National Moment of Reflection to mourn the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and reflect on her life and legacy.

The National Moment of Reflection will take place at 8pm on Sunday, the night before the State Funeral, and be marked by a one-minute silence.

The silence can be marked privately at home, with friends and family, out on doorsteps or the street with neighbours, or at locally arranged community events and vigils.

Community groups, clubs and other organisations across the country are encouraged to take part and people overseas are also encouraged to observe the one-minute silence at 8pm local time.

Once we have reflected on the long and glorious reign of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, we should also step forward to consider the challenges that we will face with King Charles III and set out a vision of the world we want to create with King Charles III.

As Her Majesty considered herself a servant, and King Charles III has vowed to continue her life of service to the nations, perhaps we should also consider a life of service to the generations that follow and, fight now for a better future for them.

A future with climate change under control.

Prosperity without pollution.

A life of wellbeing in greater harmony with the ecosystems that feed us.
