Anniversary and Birthday Greetings
If you know someone who is celebrating their Diamond Wedding Anniversary or 100th Birthday, it is possible to arrange for them to receive a message of congratulations from The King. The message consists of a card containing a personalised message. Cards may also be arranged for 65th and 70th wedding anniversaries and 105th Birthdays, and every year thereafter.
To arrange a congratulatory message, a family member or a friend should download and complete an application form which should then be returned to The Anniversaries Office, Buckingham Palace, London SW1A 1AA. It is also possible to apply online.
The application should not be made earlier than three weeks before the celebration date. It is possible to arrange a belated message up to six months after the celebration.
