Royal couple return to Malta
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's diamond wedding anniversary has been marked with a trip to Malta.
The visit marks a return to the Mediterranean island where they lived at the start of their married life.
Princess Elizabeth often visited the prince who was stationed in Malta with the Royal Navy.
The Queen and the duke celebrated their anniversary with more than 30 family members and 2,000 other guests at Westminster Abbey on Monday.
The service featured a reading from Prince William, and in a blessing, the Archbishop of Canterbury renewed their vows.
The service was also attended by Prime Minister Gordon Brown, John Major and Baroness Thatcher.
The couple were married at Westminster Abbey in 1947 and they lived in Malta between 1949 and 1951.
