The comments made by Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, on 26 December 2021.
Her Majesty The Queen is an example to us all – she has served the UK and the Commonwealth with the utmost dignity, steadfastness, and resolve throughout her remarkable reign.
The Platinum Jubilee is a truly historic occasion, and it is right that the country should mark this celebration in a special way.
This extension will enable families, friends and communities across England and Wales to raise a glass to toast Her Majesty The Queen and mark her incredible service to our country.
