“Memories of
this year’s happy events will brighten our lives for years to come,” said the
Queen in a televised message, and as the Diamond Jubilee year comes to a close
what better way to mark it than with this lovely book.
‘Majesty’
editors Ingrid Seward and Joe Little, together with royal press correspondents
Lynne Bell, Richard Palmer and Camilla Tominey, have compiled a month by month
account of all the festivities at home and abroad during this historic year.
The focus is very much on the Queen, starting with the low key events marking
her accession day in February, through all the tours around the country and, of
course, the actual Jubilee weekend itself, from the pouring rain of the river
pageant, through to the lively concert at the palace and the pathos of Her
Majesty alone at St Paul’s when the Duke of Edinburgh was hospitalised with an
infection. Other members of the
family are not forgotten either. Who could forget Prince Harry’s exuberant tour
of Jamaica; or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s triumphant Asia-Pacific
visit; Charles and Camilla’s trip to Scandinavia; or the Queen’s historic
visit to Ireland.
Beautifully
written and lavishly illustrated, this is the perfect souvenir of an historic
year for the Queen and the British royal family. A ‘must have’ for all royal watchers.
