To mark 60 years of the Queen’s reign, the Diamond Jubilee takes place in 2012. On this website, you will find information about the Diamond Jubilee emblem, portraits and prayer.
Government House Diamond Jubilee website
A website to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is now live. The site (www.diamondjubilee.govt.nz) sits within the website of the Governor-General, Lt Gen Rt Hon Sir Jerry Mateparae.
It includes a page of events planned to mark the Diamond Jubilee. Organisations holding events to mark the Jubilee can submit their listings for inclusion, although Government House reserves the right to decide which events to list. Listings can be sent to info@govthouse.govt.nz (with contact details.
There is also more information about the Diamond Jubilee Emblem containing brand guidelines for organisations wanting to use the Emblem, as well as options for downloading it in a variety of different formats.
Later in the year, the site will carry updated information about the Diamond Jubilee visit in November of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
