Queen Elizabeth was one of the few constants in our lives, someone always there. That is perhaps what is so unsettling about the end of the second Elizabethan Age – that it has come to a close after 70 years.</description>

      <link>https://www.dmu.ac.uk/current-students/student-news/2020/september/faith-facilities-at-dmu.aspx</link>
      <description>Government guidance and concerns around the recent increased spread of Covid 19, have led us to the unfortunate conclusion that it would not be possible to open the faith facilities at DMU, at present, in a safe way. Therefore, the campus prayer rooms, ablution spaces and chapel will remain closed until further notice.</description>
