"For this unique occasion our association have laid on an auspicious spectacular dance for the Queen, who, along with her dignity, sense of duty and astonishing stamina remains a reassuring beacon to us all, a powerful, unifying force in a nation whose respect and affection she has never taken for granted and she has always strived to give the British people her best service.
“In this, her Platinum Jubilee Year, the important message of the strength of a family, good friendship and good neighbourliness are thoughts and wishes for the years ahead of us all. Ma’am, your message is strong, wise and clear to us all and your devotion is inspirational.”
Mrs Ansell said, “What a wonderful way to pay tribute to her Majesty. The dance was spectacular and very impressive.
