Sign the BIG thank you card

 

2012 is a BIG year for Her Majesty the Queen, who after 60 years on the throne is already the second-longest reigning British Monarch ever (after Queen Victoria).
 
To mark 60 years of The Queen’s reign, the Diamond Jubilee will take place in 2012, with celebrations centering on an extended weekend from 2 to 5 June.
 
As Supreme Governor of the Church of England, The Queen is very special to the Church family, so the three diocesan bishops and the Dean of Winchester have decided to send her a very special BIG thank you card, which everybody in the diocese will get a chance to sign!
 
You will have until Friday 4 May to sign the card
