Madam, my wife Ruth and I were very interested in your issue of December 14th 2011, with the headline, 'What will you be doing on the Diamond Day?' because it is our 60th wedding anniversary on July 23rd.

We do not expect to be invited to the palace, but it would be nice to have a card from her Majesty. I believe there is a procedure. What should we do?

We always enjoy the Ross Gazette it is a mine of information, and interesting articles and photographs.

Bertie Comerford, Ross
