Ealing’s new cinema, the Ealing Project, is throwing open its doors this Monday (19 September) for a free screening of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

The intention is to enable those unable to make it into London to experience the occasion with other members of the local community. Crowded streets and transport will mean that many will not be able to get close to the event on the day.

Ealing Project will screen the proceedings from BBC throughout the day from 9:30am, instead of film screenings. There is no need to book tickets, just turn up any time after 9.30am.

General Manager Andrew Carruthers of Ealing Project commented, “The Queen has dedicated 70 years of her life to the country and the service on Monday is a historical and important moment that people want to experience together. Our cinema won’t be showing films as a mark of respect, so we felt that it was right that we allowed the local community to come together and use our space to pay their respects if they wish.”

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
