Message from His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, on the Occasion of
the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation
OTTAWA—For much of modern history, the stability and enduring success of monarchy has been, above all, a reflection of the people’s esteem and affection for the monarch.
Today marks the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. Few monarchs have enjoyed the widespread support and longevity that have characterized her reign. Indeed, for the past 60 years, Her Majesty has emblematized the spirit of duty and dedication that is the hallmark of all great leaders. Her tireless devotion to all the citizens of the Commonwealth and to the fulfillment of her responsibilities has earned her the love and admiration of people the world over.
As we celebrate this impressive milestone, I would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to Her Majesty on behalf of all Canadians.
David Johnston
