No I have not find any at this forum,

Maybe some can post those pictures..

Ooh! My first post.

I have this link:

http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page1270.asp

It has some information about the Golden Jubilee, maybe not that many pictures, but it gives some information. Also, you might try www.rexfeatures.com. I'll see if I can find anything else.

Hope that helps a bit.

Thanks for the link scootercat... but I was actually looking for specific photos of the Queen taken in honor of her Golden Jubilee...

I know that some where taken by Bryan Adams, I believe some were taken by Prince Andrew and others by noted photgraphers...

I think that if I wasnt looking for these specific photos I would have found them a long time ago (don't you hate when that happens)

Sorry ravenprincess.

Acually, I didn't know that Bryan Adams had taken any photos.

Have you tried to looking for an official website for Bryan Adams.
He may have posted some on there.

I don't know if Prince Andrew's would ever be made public, he probably took them just for the family.

As for any official portraits - anyone have any ideas? -

Sorry I'm not any help.

there can't be many other pictures like the first two
Reigning Sovereigns gathered
I would love to see them with out the corbis text...

The dinner thing- why didn't it include the soverigns of Monaco or Liechtenstein? If she invited Henri of Luxembourg, who is not a king, but a grand duke, why did it not include the reigning princes of those Monaco and Liechtenstein?

[Josefine]

I have not found any such pictures yet

[Josefine]

It would be great to see more of these kind of pictures

I am a bit interested in this ceremony as i think it is one of the most colourful and regal of all the british ceremony. Does anyone know the role and appointment of the two military officers in the picture? I know that they are part of the ceremony, but what is the signifiance of them walking behind their queen? Thanks

Queen hosts Jubilee dinner for European royalty

The Queen has given a Golden Jubilee dinner party for European crowned heads.

Fifteen European Royals joined 15 British Royals at Windsor Castle for the Jubilee dinner.

With the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh were the Prince of Wales, Duke of York, Earl and Countess of Wessex, Princess Royal and Commodore Timothy Laurence, Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Duke of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent and daughter Lady Gabriella Windsor, Princess Alexandra and Sir Angus Ogilvy.

European guests were Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik of Denmark, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway, King Albert and Queen Paola of the Belgians, Grand Duke Jean and Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte of Luxembourg, and also the current Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg.

There were no tiaras or royal insignia; the Queen wanted more of an informal occasion, although by any standards it was a special evening to mark her 50-year reign.

I think my favorite part of Her Majesty's Jubilee was a parade where a group of bikers rode by and saluted the Queen!! I thought that was priceless and so funny!

I read that the Gloucester ladies made a really bad fashion faux passe at the jubilee which didn't go down well with the Queen. Apparently all the Royal ladies had been instructed to wear either white/cream or the very palest of pastels and beige in order that the Queen (in bright jewel colours) would stand out from everyone else on her special day. I hadn't noticed this before but looking at the pictures the Gloucesters were indeed the only female members of the family who were in bright colours among the entire Royal Family in St. Paul's. It's even more noticeable in the balcony pictures where the only ladies shining like beacons are the Queen and the Duchess of Gloucester.

My guess is that the Duchess probably thought her suit was pale enough and Lady Rose in white jacket and hat may have underestimated the brightness of her red skirt. Lady Davina in bright Royal blue I can't account for.
