Oh dear, it`s happening all over again. It has been said that leaders need to have "trusted teams that reflect the character and integrity that you would wish to be associated with."

I also wish to thank from afar, those who were involved in organising such spectacular events for her Majesty`s Platinum jubilee, in the UK. We are after all, part of the British and Commonwealth family; a worldwide brotherhood of nations.
Apart from the parties here organized to celebrate this occasion; sadly the last of jubilee celebrations in her Majesty`s honour in our time; we have seen yet again how the Queen is loved, and the many expressions of gratitude throughout, for having dedicated her entire life in the service of us all. Not even the inclement weather in the north dampened the spirits of those who sat outside to celebrate their party in her honour. Read more
