16th June 2006
On 15th June, The Prince of Wales, Prince William and Prince Harry attended a Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark The Queen’s 80th Birthday.
The Service was followed by a dinner at the Mansion House hosted by the Lord Mayor of London.
In her speech Her Majesty drew attention to both the 50th anniversary of The Duke of Edinburgh‘s Award and the 30th Anniversary of The Prince‘s Trust. She said: “Both organisations in their different ways have changed - and continue to change - countless people‘s lives for the better.
“This success has been the result of the imagination, energy and endless hard work of many dedicated people combined with the leadership and drive of The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales.
“I am very happy to take this opportunity to draw attention to their achievement and to thank them both for all the support they give me each and every day.”
