The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with a service at london’s Westminster Abbey. They were joined by about 2,000 people, including more than 30 family members, and their grandson, Prince William, who delivered a reading.
After the service, the Queen and the Duke visited Parliament Square to unveil a jubilee Walkway plaque. Dame Jude Dench read a specially commissioned poem by Andrew Motion. On sunday, members of the Royal family attended a celebration dinner hosted by Prince Charles at clarence House.
The Queen is the first British monarch to reach a diamond wedding anniversary. Other couples who married on the same day, along with choristers from the royal wedding, were among those at the service. The wedding in 1947, according to one of the couples’s friends, was a moment of ” blissful brightness and happiness”.
