When she ascended the throne, Queen Elizabeth II was a young wife and mother. As the ruling Monarch, her royal duties increased tremendously, often taking her away from her family, yet she appeared to cope extremely well. Her Coronation was held on 02 June 1953. She has ruled with understanding and dignity. In public she is always seen as a figure of grace and elegance; a lady in every sense; greatly admired and respected.

I extend my sincere congratulations on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the reign of Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth II.
