Tynwald Court has conveyed its congratulations to the Queen, Lord of Mann on her Diamond Jubilee with the presentation by the President of Tynwald, the Hon Clare Christian MLC on behalf of the Court, of an illuminated address to His Excellency Lieutenant Governor Mr Adam Wood for onward transmission to Her Majesty.
Members of the House of Keys and the Legislative Council together with His Honour First Deemster Doyle and senior members of the Manx judiciary attended the special sitting of Tynwald Court on Tuesday May 22nd 2012 presided over by Madam President who spoke of Her Majestys unremitting sense of duty and selflessness that had underpinned 60 years of service to the people of the Isle of Man and the Commonwealth. Madam President remarked that Her Majesty had emerged as a remarkable example to us all and, in presenting the illuminated address to His Excellency, extended congratulations on behalf of all those present to Her Majesty on her Diamond Jubilee.
Seconding Madam Presidents remarks the Speaker of the House of Keys, the Hon Steve Rodan SHK, said Her Majesty had kept a measure of continuity and provided a continuing and unwavering sense of duty and purpose which has been an example to all of us, adding that we can all be proud to have Elizabeth II as our Lord of Mann.
Addressing the Court His Excellency Lieutenant Governor Mr Adam Wood said it would be an honour to present the address to Her Majesty for whom the Isle of Man enjoys a special place in her heart. In his closing remarks he echoed the sentiments of Madam President and Mr Speaker when he said he hoped Her Majestys reign would last for many years to come.
The illuminated address, created by local artist Colleen Corlett, will be presented to Her Majesty together with the Hansard record of the proceedings.
