Opening in February 2012, a special exhibition in the Castle's Drawings Gallery marks the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen. Taken by leading press photographers over the course of The Queen's reign, the 60 photographs selected present a colourful portrait of Her Majesty's 60 years on the throne. The selection encompasses The Queen's official duties - meeting Presidents and Prime Ministers, or touring the Commonwealth - and her personal interests, especially her love of horses, dogs, and her family life. The images reflect the fascinating relationship between the media and the monarchy that has developed over the past six decades.To appreciate this exhibition in more depth, your group can book a talk by a member of Royal Collection staff.EXHIBITION TALK THE QUEEN: SIXTY PHOTOGRAPHS FOR SIXTY YEARSAvailability March to December 2012 (excluding July and August) Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 11:00 Admission priceAdult £19.70Over 60/Student £18.00Under 17 £13.80Minimum number 15/maximum number 30.
