Queen's Diamond Jubilee message in full
Today, as I mark 60 years as your Queen, I am writing to thank you for the wonderful support and encouragement that you have given to me and Prince Philip over these years and to tell you how deeply moved we have been to receive so many kind messages about the Diamond Jubilee.
In this special year, as I dedicate myself anew to your service, I hope we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family, friendship and good neighbourliness, examples of which I have been fortunate to see throughout my reign and which my family and I look forward to seeing in many forms as we travel throughout the United Kingdom and the wider Commonwealth.
I hope also that this Jubilee year will be a time to give thanks for the great advances that have been made since 1952 and to look forward to the future with clear head and warm heart as we join together in our celebrations.
I send my sincere good wishes to you all.
ELIZABETH R.

The Queen’s Coinage
All British coins carry a portrait of The Queen. Whereas in centuries gone by this portrait would be the only way that most people would see an image of the monarch, today The Queen is one of the most photographed people in the world. Thus the Queen’s portrait not only must be as instantly recognizable as Her Majesty herself, but must also capture something of her dignified and dutiful character and the essence of national pride and unity that she represents. To celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen the Royal Mint has issued The Official Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Collection a set of 24 historic silver Proof coins that chart the events, ceremonies and landmarks from The Queen’s reign that are important to her personally.

On February 6, 1952, the first televised British coronation enabled millions of people around the world to witness the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Little did they know it was the beginning of a historic reign-the second ever to last an impressive 60 years.
In 2012, Britain and the sixteen Commonwealth realms of which Queen Elizabeth II is the reigning monarch, will stand front and centre as the world unites to celebrate a lifetime of dedication and service for one of its most visible and popular monarchs.
