I always enjoy your excellent and informative paper but have never written to you before.

When I watch a great royal occasion, such as Trooping the Colour or the State Opening of Parliament,

I always thank God for His gift of our gracious Queen.

For more than 50 years as our beloved sovereign, she hasn't put a foot wrong.

We are so lucky to have this wonderful lady as our head of State and not some dreadful tin-pot dictator.

Just think of all the tourists she brings to our country and all the lovely money they spend.

So let's have three cheers for Her Majesty.
