John and Frances Canning had booked the town hall for their civil wedding last year and were told they would be sharing the venue with an 'V.I.P.'.
This meeting must have been a wonderful experience that will linger in the minds of the newlyweds for a long time. And it's the result of the great idea that the Queen and her family put into practice a few weeks ago- to celebrate her jubilee not only in London but to travel around the whole of Britain and the Commonwealth countries as well. As a Canadian I can say that we all feel the special bond that ties Canada to Queen Elizabeth and her anniversary is a special occasion to show it to the world.
