Tributes to long-serving Norwich altar server, Paul Rayner

Paul Rayner died aged 80 - Credit: SUPPLIED BY FAMILY Tributes have been paid to a long-serving altar server, who received formal recognition of his efforts from the queen just days before he died. Paul Rayner, who first joined the choir of Norwich Cathedral in 1949 as a boy, was in the final cohort of the Cathedral Choir School. In 1954, he left the choir and became a server at St George’s Church in Tombland, Norwich, as well as a member of the Guild of Servers of Norwich Cathedral. Mr Rayner, who also married his wife in the cathedral, continued there as a server until 2020, when he became ill. Throughout his time as a server, he trained hundreds of young servers who all still speak very fondly of him.

Network Norfolk : Four Norfolk Christians recognised by the Queen

Four Norfolk Christians recognised by the Queen  Four Norfolk Christians have today been recognised by Her Majesty the Queen for their service to the community in the centuries-old Royal Maundy Money tradition. The giving of Royal Maundy Money by HM The Queen is a long-established tradition. The name “Maundy” and the ceremony itself derive from an instruction of Jesus at the Last Supper that his followers should love one another. This symbolic act of giving a gift of money in small purses is a ceremonial living out of that Christian care. There are as many recipients as there are years in the sovereign’s age. At the ceremony, the monarch hands each recipient two small leather string purses. A red purse contains ordinary coins, while a white one contains silver Maundy coins, amounting to the same number of pence as the years of the sovereign’s age.
