An Edinburgh minister who co-founded a children’s bereavement charity has been appointed as a Chaplain to Her Majesty the Queen.
The Rev Liz Henderson, of Richmond Craigmillar Church in the east of the city, will formally join her Majesty’s Household as a Chaplain-in-Ordinary.
The prestigious role dates back to the 15th century and is today largely a ceremonial honour with chaplains taking part in formal state occasions and conducting services at significant national events.
