My mum was a true Royalist and brought us up following what the Royals were doing and I was lucky enough to meet the Queen and present her with flowers at Sandringham one New Year.

Tributes
We all had our own personal impressions of The Queen and how we thought of her, what she meant to both to us and to the nation and even for some of us, memories of when we met in person.
We wanted to share those thoughts and memories as part of our tribute to The Queen in her Platinum Jubilee Year and asked for contributions in less than 70 words about why The Queen was so special. Here are some of them.
The Queen proclaimed when she was 21 in South Africa to devote her life whether it be long or short to the Commonwealth and she has performed and carried this out 110% and deserves every ones praise she is a complete leading light to which we can all learn from, well done Your Majesty.

Congratulations on your platinum jubilee your Majesty. I remember the day now some 50 years later when you presented to me a copy of The bible at the age of 9 at the West Newton and Sandringham Sunday School. And with a great deal of family members serving you over your reign. Father, Grandfathers and Aunt and Uncles we have always held you as a shinning example in our lives.
