“Humbled and touched” is how Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is feeling following a marvellous weekend of pomp and ceremony to commemorate her 70 years on the throne
In a letter to her constituents and fans right around the Commonwealth and the world, the Queen re-affirmed her commitment to serving as monarch, with her family by her side for support.
Audiences have certainly noticed this family support she speaks of, over the course of the Platinum Jubilee weekend, with Her Majesty missing of a number of events, and making way for the younger royals.
However, despite not being able to attend every spectacle, Elizabeth says her heart has been with us all.
On Saturday, thousands upon thousands of royal lovers lined the streets surrounding Buckingham Palace in London for a special variety performance.

Meanwhile, the casts from Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, Hamilton and others showed the world just how spectacular London’s West End is.
The Queen says, when it comes to marking 70 years as monarch, ‘there is no guidebook to follow, it really is a first’.
On Sunday, Her Majesty emerged on the balcony of her former permanent residence again.
