Alicante Branch<br />
and the<br />
local Community<br />
celebrate the<br />
Queen's Platinum<br />
Jubilee<br />
2nd of June 2022.<br />
As I look ahead with a sense of hope and<br />
optimism to the year of my Platinum Jubilee, I am<br />
reminded of how much we can be thankful for.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se last seven decades have seen extraordinary<br />
progress socially, technologically and culturally that<br />
have benefitted us all; and I am confident that the<br />
future will offer similar opportunities to us and<br />
especially to the younger generations in the United<br />
Kingdom and throughout the Commonwealth.<br />
Queen Elizabeth II, 2022<br />
<strong>The</strong> Queen has ruled for longer than any other Monarch in British history, becoming a<br />
much loved and respected figure across the globe. Her extraordinary reign has seen her<br />
travel more widely than any other monarch, undertaking many historic overseas visits.<br />
Known for her sense of duty and her devotion to a life of service, she has been an<br />
important figurehead for the UK and the Commonwealth during times of enormous social<br />
change. <strong>The</strong> year 2022 sees Her Majesty <strong>The</strong> Queen become the first British Monarch to<br />
celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years on the throne.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Alicante Branch of the Royal British Legion held a celebratory afternoon tea for<br />
Branch Members and Members of the local Community on the occasion of the Queen's<br />
Platinum Jubilee<br />
