This weekend will see thousands of events
taking place across the UK, celebrating our Queen’s Jubilee.
From an early age the Queen showed us what
sort of monarch she would be. Whilst in South Africa on her 21st
birthday she poignantly said: “I dedicate my life, be it long or short to the
service of our great family of nations.”
During her reign the Queen has dedicated 60
years of her life serving our country.
She is currently the Patron of over 600 charities and organisations,
over 400 of which she has held since 1952.
She has answered over 3.5million items of
correspondence and every year hosts more than 58,000 people at banquets,
lunches, dinners, receptions and garden parties at Buckingham Palace and
Holyroodhouse.
Across Croydon hundreds of street parties have been organised and I am looking forward to celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee this weekend.
