Queen Elizabeth II

10. Animals really are important to her

This is a woman who is known for her love of animals, and in particular her corgis.
As monarch, from time to time she invites people to Windsor Castle, and I remember being there once when one of her corgis rolled over onto its back at her feet and there was a look of sheer unadulterated joy on her face, which I’ll never forget.
Again, I suspect that her bond with her corgis might be linked to her underlying shyness as a person.
It’s also a characteristic which chimes with us as a nation – because despite the odd horror story about someone mistreating their cat or dog, we are a nation of animal lovers.

Thanks for making us all so proud to be British': Prince Charles pays moving and personal tribute to 'Mummy' the Queen at spectacular Buckingham Palace Diamond Jubilee Concert

Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Tom Jones, Elton John, Grace Jones, Annie Lennox among those to perform to 12,000-strong crowd

Prince Charles gave a warm, emotional and often witty speech in praise of his mother at the close of the Diamond Jubilee Concert.
Just his opening word – ‘Mummy’ – earned him rapturous cheers from the crowd as the Queen, dressed in a gold lame gown dotted with crystals, looked on plainly delighted.
The pair, accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall, had minutes earlier made their way down to the stage encircling the Queen Victoria Memorial, to a standing ovation. Celebrities including Kylie Minogue and Cheryl Cole jostled to stand as close to the royal party as possible.
The prince gently warmed his audience up by making a joke about the terrible weather for Sunday’s river pageant.
‘If I may say so, thank God it turned out fine!’ he said.

Now the Jubilee celebrations go on tour: 35,000 royalists queue from 5am in Nottingham to cheer smiling Queen, Kate and William


You'd be forgiven for thinking the party was over.
It's been a whole week since most of Britain packed up its bunting and returned to work with a bank holiday hangover, after a mammoth four-day celebration.
But Jubilee fever is still alive and well in Nottingham, where 35,000 people turned out today to greet the Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Many people had queued since 5am to catch a glimpse of the Royal Party and there was a massive cheer from the crowd as they arrived in the city centre shortly after 10am.
