London, June 6 (Represenative) UK Queen Elizabeth II on Sunday said she is “humbled and deeply touched” by the Platinum Jubilee celebrations held across the UK.In a “thank you” letter after a concluding p ageant in London, she said she remained committed to serving as monarch with the support of her family. “When it comes to how to mark 70 years as your Queen, there is no guidebook to follow. It really is a first. But I have been humbled and deeply touched that so many people have taken to the streets to celebrate my Platinum Jubilee,” the statement signed by Queen Elizabeth II read. The 96-year-old monarch said despite not attending every event in person “my heart has been with you all; and I remain committed to serving you to the best of my ability.”
She was joined by three generations of her family on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the finale of the pageant. Millions of people have also held Jubilee parties and street lunches in towns and cities across the UK, reports BBC. “I have been inspired by the kindness, joy and kinship that has been so evident in recent days, and I hope this renewed sense of togetherness will be felt for many years to come,” the Queen said in the letter.” I thank you most sincerely for your good wishes and for the part you have all played in these happy celebrations.” Sunday’s pageant began with a military parade with personnel from the UK’s armed forces and from across the Commonwealth. The 260-year-old Gold State Coach which carried the Queen to her coronation in 1953 rode through the streets, with the Queen appearing as a hologram inside, the report said.
