“All Hail the Queen”! Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
will be celebrating her 90th Birthday on the 21st of
April. To commemorate this joyous occasion Delmanor Elgin Mills welcomed The
McMullen/Dark Collection of Royal Commemoratives, to display some of their
unique and cherished items that span the entire reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
Commemorative items such as fine china and
plates, ornamental tins, vintage photographs and books were displayed for all
to see and reminisce over. The Delmanor residents even learned that the Queen enjoys her morning corn flakes out of a Tupperware bowl! Some of the displayed commemoratives represented monumental events in the Queen’s lineage, most recently the births of her great
grandchildren, Prince George of Cambridge and Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.
The fascinating presenters, Norman and Kevin shared
their amazing stories of how many of their collectibles were obtained and how
their collection and admiration for The Queen grew with each passing decade.
Both Gentlemen were proudly wearing their Diamond Jubilee Medal in celebration
of Her Majesty’s accession to the Throne. The Diamond Jubilee Medal was a
tangible way for Canada to honor Her Majesty for her service to Canada.
All those in attendance had an opportunity to sign
a card that will be sent to Queen Elizabeth in anticipation of her milestone
birthday. Her Majesty holds the distinct honor of being both the longest
reigning British Monarch, surpassing her great-great Grandmother, Queen
Victoria, as well as the longest reigning Queen, also surpassing Queen Victoria, now in
her 65th year of reign atop of the British Monarchy.
Everyone in attendance loved this first hand look at the very extensive and fascinating collection of artifacts and historical information about Queen Elizabeth II. The residents were thrilled to have gained more knowledge about the Queen on this very momentous year of her remarkable reign!
