To Sandra Lanigan of Evesham. The "Great" in Great Britain is nothing to do with the adjective relating to "Grand" or "Remarkable", it actually dates back to the Norman invasion of the 11th century and the fact that this country was a larger version of Britanny in France.
Neil, Gloucestershire, England
congratulation on this special day- I have admired her MAjesty the Queen since my first visit to London in 1948, her sense of duty, Pflichtbewusstsein, Korrektheit, elegance, and the uniting link she depicts for all the Commonwealth states---we have lost our monarchy in 1918, but still dignitaries or heads of state are being welcomed in old HAbsburg- royal surroundings with their beauty and splendor---- so be happy and grateful and wish them many more years together--
evelyn schellenberg, vienna, Austria
I fail to see why being someone's son or daughter entitles one to be head of state. There are a lot of people, who have not led pampered lives, who also stay married for 60 years. Nor do they belong to such a disfunctional famliy
Neil, Gloucestershire, England
Great example of love, endurance and patience...Congratulations on their "Diamond."
Portia, FL, USA/ExPat,
Both the Queen and Prince Philip are an example to all married couples , young and old, because they have weathered all the storms and difficulties of the last 60 years and proved worthy of the respect and affection of those of us who are proud to be citizens of Great Britian - in fact their lives of service to our country have helped enormously to put the "great" into Britain. May they enjoy many more years together.
Sandra Lanigan, Vale of Evesham, UK
`Queen and Head of the Commonwealth` for 60 years and never spoken to the public ,other than occasionally reading another person`s remarks- a remarkable feat for such an exalted position.
As she never discloses her opinions or wishes,on any matter ,it is not surprising that media guesswork is sometimes wrong.
Addressing the nation on this momentous occasion would
give an enormous confidence boost to her subjects in these
trying times.
John, plymouth, UK
Such a shame "Spitting Image" is off the air.
