WIN A SOUVENIR GUIDE H


ER Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrates 60 years as British Sovereign this year.


With the exception of Queen Victoria, who


reigned for 63 years, she is the longest- serving monarch, acknowledged worldwide for the duties she has performed with grace and dignity. In her lifetime she has seen the dissolution of the British Empire and the rise of the Commonwealth of Nations, which she now presides over. Her Majesty still remains the Monarch, separately and independently, of sixteen Commonwealth members.


This special souvenir guide, illustrated with more than 80 photographs, looks at every aspect of the life of the Queen: her childhood and teenage years in the company of her sister, Princess Margaret; her role as Heir Presumptive; her engagement and marriage to the man who became Duke of Edinburgh and as mother to her young family; her Accession and Coronation. Also explored are her duties from


working with charities, attending the State Opening of Parliament and taking part in traditional ceremonies such as the Royal Maundy, the Trooping the Colour, the Garter Ceremony and the Remembrance Day service. Her passion for horses is well known, as are her other country pursuits that she enjoys in her rare ‘off-duty’ moments, all of which are featured in this Jubilee souvenir guide. The book, released by Pitkin Publishing, is written


by Annie Bullen, a freelance journalist who regularly features in national and regional magazines.
