Major Marco Ciotti, Secretary and ADC to the Lt-Governor, said: “His Excellency’s letter is a formal but heartfelt acknowledgement from us all on this unprecedented anniversary of The Queen’s lifetime of service to the British family worldwide.
“It also recalls the islands’ happy memories of Her Majesty’s many visits over the years, including the recent Platinum Jubilee visit in which The Queen was represented by Their Royal Highnesses The Earl and Countess of Wessex.”
The letter was accompanied by the winning entry in the Guernsey Platinum Jubilee flag competition, which was packed in a special commemorative purple box which also included a set of postcards depicting the top seven entries.

The winning flag was created by Ben Le Marchant, who presented his design to the Royal visitors during their recent visit to Forest School.
“The Palace is aware that the full-size flag is now flying from the Weighbridge mast,” said Major Ciotti.
