YOUR Advertiser/Messenger received Royal recognition this week from the Queen.
Recent editions of the paper showing the build up to the Golden Jubilee weekend and the subsequent coverage of many of the events were sent to Buckingham Palace.
Editor Alan Wallcroft also conveyed greetings of congratulations from the paper and its readers to the Queen on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of her accession to the throne.
A reply has now been received from the Queen's Press Secretary, Penny Russell-Smith, in which she said the Queen had asked her to thank the Advertiser/Messenger for sending the editions and to say that the message conveyed on behalf of the paper's staff and readers was much appreciated.
