Faith leaders

Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury: ‘He consistently put the interests of others ahead of his own and, in so doing, provided an outstanding example of Christian service. During his naval career, in which he served with distinction in the Second World War, he won the respect of his peers as an outstanding officer. On the occasions when I met him, I was always struck by his obvious joy at life, his enquiring mind and his ability to communicate to people from every background and walk of life. He was a master at putting people at their ease and making them feel special. The legacy he leaves is enormous.’

Ephraim Mirvis, Chief Rabbi: ‘We remember the Duke’s interaction with, and affection for, the Jewish community in the UK and his connection with Israel, where his mother buried and which he visited in 1994.
