The Jubilee bank holiday is a day off for the nation, an opportunity for people to celebrate the Queen’s 70 years on the throne and to express thanks that she’s with us. And indeed, it’s a remarkable anniversary.
At 96, she’s still doing as much as she can, given her problems with mobility, an example of how a purposeful life and an ethos of duty does not entail retirement. We are lucky to have her. This milestone is a chance to say thank you.
