CARDS congratulating the Queen on her Platinum Jubilee have been sent to Buckingham Palace.
The cards, designed by Wokingham Borough Council, were available for residents to write their good wishes inside.
These were then displayed in borough libraries and at the council’s Shute End offices.
After the jubilee weekend, the council combined all the cards, including printing a number of digital messages, and bound them into a physical congratulations card.
Last week, the cards were hand tied with a ribbon and posted to Buckingham Palace which included a letter from Wokingham borough mayor, Cllr Caroline Smith.
Cllr Smith said: “It is a great pleasure to share the signed congratulations cards for Her Majesty The Queen.
“More than one hundred residents took the time to write their heart-felt messages and good wishes inside the cards, younger residents showed their artistic talents by drawing castles and crowns, and one of our borough libraries created a large-scale stamp collage in the shape of The Queen’s head.
“On behalf of Wokingham Borough Council, I would like to extend my congratulations and sincere gratitude to Her Majesty The Queen for her incredible 70 years of service to our country.”
A digital version, featuring all the well wishes, has also been created with an additional copy sent to the Berkshire Record Office.
