Title: Diamond Wedding collage completed
Post by: Ron Ward on Wednesday 22 December 10 18:46 GMT (UK): Having witnessed some of the versatality of the wizards of this site I wondered if a kind person could make something of these three photos which record our anniversary due on the 23rd. Abit late but HM Card only recently arrived. No need to rush it will be one for posterity. Hope they are not too small have had to manipulate them to get them on. A good Xmas and a healthy and wealthy New Year to you all.

Christmas comes but once a year and with it comes it flat beer!

:) ;) :D ;D ;D 8) ::) :-*

Post by: Ron Ward on Wednesday 22 December 10 20:24 GMT (UK): Many thanks Xin - its what I was hoping for I will try a bigger scan with fingers crossed. Thanks for the congrats Anne and Margaret......we were experiencing the same weather in 1950 and I was holding on to Winnie to stop her sliding in the ice. We have just come back from a Salvation army carol concert and she had to hold on to my arm on the icy path. I have clung on to her eversince 1950!

Regards, Ron :) ;) :D

Post by: cazza59 on Thursday 23 December 10 07:57 GMT (UK): Hi Fred

First, many congratulations, such a wonderful achievement!

Secondly, you will have to indulge me as I plan to post a couple more. ::) I haven't coloured this pic as I think it would be too much with the frame. However, I do plan a coloured but if you could tell us the true colours for authenticity that would be great.

Best wishes
Caroline
Title: Re: Diamond Wedding collage
Post by: Ron Ward on Thursday 23 December 10 08:19 GMT (UK): Many thanks Bill, Caroline and Carolyn Exquisite compositions and repros. Also thanks to who arranged the travelling anniversary congrats skitting across my reply screen. What a thoughtful lot you all are! ;D ;D ;D

Our children arranged it as xin suggests They surrepticiously obtained our wedding certificate ( they said for family history) as you need a copy to prove the deed - Start searching Parmesan. It arrived early to coincide with a framily party which was called off because of the snow and ice.

PS I forgot to mention the dress was blue to match her eyes;

If I have forgotten anyone we are grateful for all your expertise and kindness.
Happy Xmas, Ron
Title: Re: Diamond Wedding collage
Post by: cazza59 on Thursday 23 December 10 09:05 GMT (UK): That's brilliant because I have prepared a colour photo and I used a pale blue! Anyway, not finished yet, so I will post it later, hope you don't mind but the board is very quiet.

Caroline

PS Sorry to hear your party was called off! :(

Post by: DeeBoneham on Thursday 23 December 10 12:03 GMT (UK): Parmesan hope this will help though I think its just for UK residents:
For many people, receiving a congratulatory card from The Queen to mark a significant birthday or wedding anniversary is a very special part of their celebrations.

Since 1917, the Sovereign has sent congratulatory messages to people celebrating notable birthdays and anniversaries. The Queen will send a congratulatory message on the following occasions.

Wedding anniversaries
The Queen sends messages for diamond (sixtieth), sixty-fifth and platinum (seventieth) wedding anniversaries and then every year thereafter.

Her Majesty does not send a message for Silver (twenty-fifth), Ruby (fortieth) or Golden (fiftieth) wedding anniversaries.

Birthdays
The Queen sends messages for one hundredth and one hundred and fifth birthdays and then every year thereafter.

The Queen's congratulatory messages consist of a card containing a personalised message with a facsimile signature. The card comes in a special envelope, which is delivered through the normal postal channels.

The delivery of these messages is arranged by the Anniversaries Office, part of the Private Secretary's Office in the Royal Household, based at Buckingham Palace.

The Pension Service informs the Anniversaries Office of birthdays for recipients of UK State pensions. But, for data privacy reasons, there is no automatic alert from Government records for wedding anniversaries.

For this reason, to make sure that a message is sent for birthdays and wedding anniversaries alike, an application should preferably be made by a relative or friend in advance of the special day. Requests for residents of Banffshire can be made by writing to the Lieutenancy Office.

In order to process these a copy of the Birth or Marriage Certificate will be required.

Post by: Ron Ward on Thursday 23 December 10 16:06 GMT (UK): Hi Dee, many thanks for the guidance on greetings from Her Majesty, I am sure they will be useful to many old stagers. We have just got to stagger on for another five to qualify for the next. Someone has posted that they keep getting better and better and they are certainly right. We are enjoying them all...the restorations and combinations - you have certainly done us proud. To Carol and Paulatoo - a big WOW and a gigantic thank-you.
Eternally grateful, Win and Ron ;D ;D ;D ;D

PS I first came across this site when researching my wife's Grandfather's WW1 service and I used his name to log-in just in case it threw up some info. Whilst he did not die until 1920 the gassing did for him in the end.
I did not want you to think I had an identity problem. Merry Merry Xmas,Ron
