The Royal Diamond Jubilee
In 2012 the United Kingdom and Commonwealth will join together to
celebrate a remarkable achievement. 2012 marks 60 years since Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne and as a mark of
respect to this occasion a great National Celebration has been
organised to give everyone a chance to see and take part in the
festivities.
The government has declared an extended
national holiday from the 2nd to the 5th of
June where numerous events including the exciting Thames Jubilee
Pageant and the National Service of Thanksgiving will mark the
dedication and constant devotion of the UK’s true national
treasure.
At Hotel Russell we are looking forward to
living and breathing the festive mood in London during the Jubilee
and hope you will be able to join us. Watch this space for great
ideas on attending London during this time and what Hotel Russell
will be doing to mark the event.
We have taken the time to read over some of
the more famous quotes from the Queen and quite liked this one. We
thought it summed up the mood quite well.
“I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you
laws or administer justice but I can do something else - I can give
my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the
peoples of our brotherhood of nations”
