ON THE OCCASION OF THE GOLDEN JUBILEE of the ACCESSION to the Throne of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and other Realms and Dominions by the Grace of God, Queen Defender of the Faith and Head of the Commonwealth, remembering also Her Majesty's illustrious descent from Our Sovereign Lady Rahnieda, Princess of Polacak (d. 1000), and from the Royal House of Vaza, sometime Grand Dukes of Lithuania, Ruthenia and Samogitia (1587-1668).

The Association of Belarusians in Great Britain, on behalf of Her Majesty's Loyal subjects of Belarusian origin, and of all Belarusians resident within Her Realms as aforesaid, offer thanks to Almighty God for the favour of Her Protection throughout Her Reign, and crave leave to express their Loyal Greetings and Respectful Congratulations to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and to all Members of the Royal Family, with their warmest wishes for a long life, health and happiness and for peace, amity and concord between Her Realms and Dominions and the Republic of Belarus. Ad multos annos.

God Save The Queen

(ÀÄÊÀÇ Ë²ÇÀÂÅÒÛ ²²) Prince Phillip and I have been deeply touched by the many kind messages about the Golden Jubilee. This anniversary is for us an occasion to acknowledge with gratitude the loyal and support which we have received from so many people since I came to the Throne in 1952. It is especially an opportunity to thank all those of you who help others in your own local communities through public or voluntary service. I would like to think that your work will be particularly recognized during this Jubilee year. I hope also that this time of celebration in the United Kingdom and across the Commonwealth will not simply be an occasion to be nostalgic about the past. I believe that, young or old, we have as much to look forward to with confidence and hope as we have to look back on with pride. I send my warmest good wishes to you all.

ELIZABETH R.
