Jeffrey Shaw Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Pedant's note: It's not a golden jubilee. Here's why: 1. Golden = 50th. anniversary. HM The Queen's Jubilee was in 2002 (= 1952 + 50). 2. Diamond= 60th. anniversary. 3. BUT a jubilee is by definition ONLY a 50th anniversary. 4. 'Jubilee' derives from the Hebrew 'YOVEL' [= 50th year, immediately following each seventh set of seven years wherein each seventh year is a sabbatical year]. Hence 2012, marking the 60th anniversary of Her Accession, is just a 60th (Diamond) anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
