Worshippers from different generations have come together to pray around sites in Portsmouth as part of Thy Kingdom Come celebrations.
In total, seven deaneries in the diocese were surrounded and prayed for in person, with over 100 people joining in the walk and worship, with events happening in the evening as well.
Thy Kingdom Come 2025 is being celebrated from 29th May to 8th June, and this year marks its tenth anniversary.
Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a global ecumenical prayer movement where Christians pray from Ascension to Pentecost for people to come to know Jesus.
Clergy, children and parishioners joined for the first day at Bishops' Waltham deanery, starting in Wickham and following the Meon Valley Trail northwards to St Peter's Church, Soberton, and St Mary and All Saints in Droxford.
They stopped each hour to pray for the churches and communities they were passing.
Among those attending were children from Swanmore Church of England (CofE) Primary School who were part of the school's worship council, which helps with prayer corners in classrooms.
Six-year-old Elodie Osmond helped lead prayers when the group paused near the disused Droxford railway station, where Winston Churchill met military commanders and Allied leaders to plan the Normandy landings on D-Day.
She said: "It was nice because I didn't think we'd get to do the prayers. I would definitely do a pilgrimage again."
The prayer pilgrimage lasted three days with those attending walking from Fareham to Portchester Castle and into Havant deanery. They started at St Peter's Church, Hayling Island then moved to St Faith's in Havant. Then also stopped at St Thomas, Bedhampton; Church of the Good Shepherd in Crookhorn; St George's in Waterlooville and Hart Plain Church.
Leah Elsey, from St James' Church, Emsworth, is one parishioner who attended all three days and commented:
"I was only going to walk from Hayling Island to Havant, but at each stage I felt there was nothing stopping me from going further. It was great to talk to others about their lives and to make connections with them. And it was great to pray inside churches and outside them. There were enough of us for people to notice that we were going so."
