What a nice photo!
I see a couple comfortable with themselves -- and in each other -- who has survived a lifetime of ups and downs.

I gave today noticed on the Royal Website that the line "other events will be listed here wehn they become available" has been removed from the diamond wedding anniversary announcement Media centre > Event highlights > Diamond wedding anniversary so perhaps the celebrations will be rather scaled down.

It's rather remarkable in this day and age that they have been married going on 60 years now. Again, it's a testament to who they are and how much they love each other.
My parents have another 25 years to go before they hit 60.....I hope they can get there.

Because even though they are mostly serious here, they have looks for each other that speak a thousand words. Those looks are mysterious and romantic and makes me wonder so much what are their thoughts.
I wonder if they will invite other couples from around Britain who are celebrating a diamond wedding this year (it can't be a too large number!)  It would be so nice to see something like that. It seems like the kind of thing they would do.
