HRH Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn recently attended the Diamond Jubilee lunch to celebrate the occasion of HM Queen Elizabeth II 60th year as Head of State of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and Dominions.

HRH Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn brought the best wishes of Thailand, the Thai people and Government to HM Queen Elizabeth, on behalf of HM King Bhumipol.

HM King Bhumipol is the longest serving monarch in the World, Long Live the King.

Please use this thread to congratulate and pass on your best wishes to HM Queen Elizabeth II on this auspicious occasion of HM's Diamond Jubilee. Long Live the Queen.

............................................

My very best wishes to Her Majesty the Queen. An inspiration to many!

Not to be picky but that should be HM Queen Elizabeth II not HRH.

Today the Queen radiated brightness on a dull day in London, best wishes your Majesty Queen Elizabeth, and also to HM King Bhumipol who raised the spirits of the Thai nation with his visible health improvement recently, two remarkable royals. Long may you both live.

We had the Festive occasion broadcast here live on Australian TV last night, but at an hour (or two) way past my bedtime.

Good Luck to Her Majesty... she is remembered warmly by many in the country.

Happy to see the Thai Royal Family had a presence at the celebrations.

The ABC (Australian Government TV) had this take on the Jubilee river pageant in honour of the Queen and UK celebrates Diamond Jubilee.

Congratulations to our very dear HM The Queen, long may she reign over us.

A chip off the block from our very dear Queen Mother (decd) and an inspiration to us all.

I am delighted to add my best wishes and congratulations to Her Majesty Queeen Elizabeth on a long and illustrious reign

Queen Elizabeth II 60th year as Head of State of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and Dominions.

From an Aussie Republican, yea ok well done.

topic title edited and first post.

HRH is for the Prince and Princess. HM for the King or Queen and Their Majesties when naming both the King and Queen.

Congratulations. Not that I expect you to read this. I only found out yesterday about this event.

I used to despise you when I was a young anarchist but now really respect you.

C'mon mate. We all know you love her to bits and you "Republicans" really want the Queen as your gaffer cos the recent non-white Australia policy has made you guys think on a bit.

I'll get me coat

It is a wonderful year for England and all our celebrating, the Olympics and England playing in the Euro Championships (and our brief return to the "Green and pleasant land" ) will go someway towards lessening the blows to our economy. The value of our Queen's global public image should not be underestimated as it so often is. After all she is a humble, respectable human being, but more importantly can strip and rebuild a Land Rover. Nice one!

It is wonderful to see your post PB. See you in November

Really enjoyed watching and listening to the quite emotional common wealth song Sing.

Well, believe it or not, a friend just sent me this photo from Thailand of the Queen.

Then, and now.

She and Hubby have aged gracefully

PS, Get well soon to HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.

The Queen looks amazing today at St. Pauls Cathedral.

The pomp and ceremony is incredible and quite tear jerking.

Hoping for a quick recuperation for HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.

Long Live The Queen

Makes me homesick

I was told that Prince Phillip had cried off poorly from some of the more lively celebrations, and was laid up poorly in hospital; and that everyone was too busy to come and visit. I hope Princess Anne, patron of the SRU, found time to pop round so that they could watch the rugby together over a few cans of export (Australia 6 - 9 Scotland); I'm sure that would have had them chortling about the stairrods more than any pomp or ceremonies might; in fact, I don't think I have ever seen anyone chortle, cackle, or rub their hands with glee at any of the royal ceremonies I have seen on television. Maybe I don't watch closely enough. Don't get me wrong; I'm delighted - over the moon, indeed, about our dear Queen's jubilee, and I watched some of it on television, but Princess Anne as patron of the SRU no doubt would feel obliged to put duty before family...

"Annie; I've decanted a little glenmorangie into that sample bottle... ... eu! no, the other one"

Lovely to see all the people enjoying themselves, my friends and relations, who live in the north have informed me that the people have re found a sense of national pride. God save the Queen.

Here is how the Australian TV reporters saw the events.

It's a video that runs for 3 minutes.

Lots of nice imagery from flashbacks of the celebrations.

While the Aussies are not gushing, they do speak warmly out their experience, the love of the English (and I assume others) who attended the numerous events of their Queen.

And of the Queen herself who’s strategy seemed to be the 'People's Queen' and demonstrated when the Queen chose to use the open carriage to remove the barriers between her and those who flocked to see her.

How the Church celebrated it.

2.26 Mins

I'm always amazed at how well her and Philip look. 86 and 90 respectively.

At 3 mins 13 I was half expecting Windsor Davies to go "SHAAAAAADUUUPPPP!"

From the same Thai Lassie who bought you this ...

Comes the timeline of the longest serving Monarchs

Wonderful coverage on BBC World News and torrents!!

I'm not a monarchist or whatever by any stretch of the imagination. When Diana died I was mildly perturbed by the outpouring of grief by people I knew who wouldn't even visit their own nan's grave.

But I have to say that the clip on the BBC taken from the Lancaster bomber of London, the crowds and the accompanying aircraft made me extremely proud to be a Briton.
