A card I received today from Buckingham Palace, on the occasion of Her Most Gracious Majesty's Diamond Jubilee and Accession to the Throne on the 6th February, 1952.
O Lord, our God, arise, Scatter her enemies, And make them fall. Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix, God save us all.

Very nice. How was it addressed? Gavin
To me! I sent a congratulatory letter to HM's Private Secretary.
Per verse two of the national anthem -
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.
Gavin, I didn't use the nom-de-plume! I always use my real name everywhere except on the blog!
You must be tempted to use it to get a better table from time to time! VC
Have you booked to go to the River Thames event next weekend? Not to be missed by all Royalists.
