QUEEN ELIZABETH'S JUBILEE: 60 YEARS ON THRONE


Happy 60th to Queen Elizabeth II

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Queen Elizabeth waved from her Buckingham Palace balcony to the cheering masses on Tuesday and thanked millions of well-wishers at the end of four days of spectacular Diamond Jubilee celebrations marking her 60th year on the throne.


From the biggest flotilla seen on the River Thames for more than three centuries, a star-studded concert and a horse-drawn procession through the capital to street parties in towns, tiny villages and communities up and down the country, the queen said the show of public affection had been "a humbling experience".




"It has touched me deeply to see so many thousands of families, neighbors and friends celebrating together in such a happy atmosphere," the queen said in a rare televised address to the nation.

Absolutely of of the finest shorts I have ever seen on Queen Elizabeth. I remember when she was crowned queen. Your video warmed my heart. (You should send a copy to her.)
