A very special card.

A card from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11.
We feel honoured to have received one of the last cards sent out in her Majesty’s name.
We haven’t opened it yet but shall do so this weekend.
A bitter sweet moment.
She will be a hard act to follow!

[Pat Knowles]

@boxplayer It’s our Diamond wedding anniversary next Monday, our daughter applied a few weeks ago. You have to send a copy of your marriage certificate.

What a nice momento to have

[Judith Johnson]

Wow, Pat, that's just wonderful. You are so lucky to have this signed by our much loved Queen Elizabeth. And what a very appropriate post for today! Looking forward to seeing the opened card and perhaps some celebrations?

So lovely for you to have but it’s hard to believe she isn’t here any more. Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary.

@happypat oh fantastic and how very sad.

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady I will definitely show you. We are going out fir lunch on Sunday with our daughter & family to a very nice restaurant. Sadly if course half our family is living in NZ so we will be short of ten extra.

@onewing Yes I think we may be Babs….not sure if it will have the date inside which would be good.
