Whatever your opinion on royalty I think all have to agree she has been a fantastic Queen & a great asset to our country !

Must just say too thank you all so much for getting my face on the PP .. I was amazed that you all faved it as it was no great picture but I felt it fitted my last day !! You are all fantastic !!!

Couldn't agree with you more, Pat. I think that she's a lovely woman and wonderful for the country. I love your traditions. She personifies them so well.

[Pat Knowles]

I agree, and good for you marking the occasion this way, nice shot

The Queen looked wonderful this morning while attending a service at Sandringham. She was wearing a beige, kind of tweedy coat with a black fur collar and a matching hat. Very smart. I envy her beautiful skin
(Note to self: Stay out of the sun. Move to England).

[Jennifer Jones]

Well said. We've been very blessed as a nation.

[Peggy Sirk]

Long live the Queen! :) Wonderful 60th anniversary shot, Pat. It marks the occasion well.

[Judith Greenwood]

Great job - I'm feeling like a traitor now for not marking the occasion now - off with my head!

[tsingtao]

Wow..to the sixty years...and a nice thought out picky too..

[Janet]

what a wonderful photo to celebrate a truly remarkable occasion !

[Rick Schies]

I must say, she does seem like quite a Lady Pat, and still going strong

[robinwarner]

I agree with Peggy...long live the Queen...great shot

[James Verdi]

[fife]

Very nice tribute!

[Louise]

Really good that you paid this well deserved tribute!

[Matt Clendon]

I'm guessing you watched the programme on the BBC last night about The Queen, Pat? She certainly has amazing longevity and work ethic.

[Barb Smith]

What a nice commemorative shot. (And you got to use your balloon again!)

She is very gracious Pat - the republic debate raises its head on a regular basis, but I think a fair bit of sting has gone out of it in recent times. William and Kate have renewed our love affair with the royals downunder.
