'Diamond Jubilee Thanksgiving Service' Commemorative Strike

On the final day of the official Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Tuesday 5th June 2012 The Queen and other members of the Royal Family attended a Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral. The congregation of 2,000 invited guests gathered to give thanks for her "loyal service and commitment" in a glorious reign that has, for six decades, been a beacon of stability and hopein an ever-changing world. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams gave the thanksgiving sermon, and paid tribute to the Queen's lifelong dedication to her nation.

In 2012 we celebrated a truly majestic milestone - The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. It is the only Diamond Jubilee that we, or the next generation are likely to witness, and what a celebration it was!
