60 years is a long time to do any job. So Queen Elizabeth begins a year of celebrations. Even someone so famous and adored, must face the fact it is also a reminder of her father's death. She was a young married woman with little children in 1952 that had to step up to a tremendous task too soon. Yet she did it. And what a job she has done! Hopefully the year will be a time for not only celebration but reflection! Here, Here! To the Queen!
You mean that, 7 years ago, I celebrated the diamond jubilee of my life and no-one threw me a party? I feel cheated!
