Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom has received this Saturday at her residence in Sandringham (east of England) representatives of local associations to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee, the eve of the 70th anniversary tomorrow since she acceded to the throne on February 6 from 1952.
Buckingham Palace, the sovereign’s official residence in London, has indicated in a statement that among those present was the local branch of the women’s association Women’s Institute, of which the queen has been a member since 1943 and has chaired since 2003, when she replaced his mother on the job.
Also in attendance with their families were retired workers from the Sandringham estate, which is privately owned by the monarchy (and not the state), and representatives of local non-profit organizations such as Little Discoverers and West Norfolk Befriending.
According to the note, Isabel II, 95, cut a cake made for the occasion by a resident of the area, which had the emblem designed for the Platinum Jubilee, which will be celebrated with public events from June 2 to 5.
She also received a bouquet of flowers that included some that were part of the “bouquet” she wore at her coronation on June 2, 1953, and a brass band played “Congratulations” when the monarch left the ceremony.
The statement indicates that Elizabeth II will spend the morning in Sandringham, as she usually does every year, since the anniversary of her accession to the throne coincides with the death of her father, King George VI, in that residence. (I)
