National Memorial Service for Tsunami Victims

At the memorial service in Uppsala Cathedral, we will remember and honour those who died, those who were affected in other ways and their families. We will gather in reflection and prayer. We will light candles and there will be singing and music.

Archbishop Martin Modéus and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson will be among those taking part in the service. H.M. The King and H.M. The Queen will attend. Diplomats, parliamentary party leaders and ecumenical guests are invited to the service. A collection will be made for the Church of Sweden abroad.

The service will be broadcast live on Swedish Television and will be open to the public.
