Jubilee Weekend : Fri Jun 01, 2012 6:57 pm
Well, it has arrived. It will be a marvellous opportunity to thank Her Majesty for her 60 years service as our queen. As some one who was born a few years after she ascended to the throne, she has provided a constant backdrop to my life and indeed to the lives of a large proportion of our nation. I think we have been lucky to have such a long-reining queen throughout these years of real change. She has enriched our lives and done so with dignity and old-fashioned British values. Let's hope the weekend proves a great celebration of Her Majesty's service and of our sense of belonging to this great country.
