The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh intend to travel as widely as possible across the UK to mark 2012's Diamond Jubilee, Buckingham Palace has said.
The Diamond Jubilee will mark 60 years of the Queen's reign.
Other members of the Royal Family will visit the 15 other countries where the Queen is head of state, as well as some other Commonwealth countries.

Hehe. From the same article:

Quote:

Back in 2002, Prince Philip was asked which part of the Golden Jubilee he was looking forward to. The Queen's husband is said to have replied, "the end".

Yes, Philip is quite well known for his one liner gaffs

I'm sure some of these will have been posted before:

You have mosquitoes. I have the Press.

British women can't cook.

Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed.

If it has four legs and is not a chair, has wings and is not an aeroplane, or swims and is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.

You can't have been here that long — you haven't got a pot belly.

You are a woman, aren't you?

And even further back, the "Windsor's" were the "Saxon-Coburg Gotha"s

D of E rocks. They aren't gaffs, they are intentional and sublime! When I grow up I want to be like him.
