Celebrating the Crown
“Royalty consists not in vain pomp, but in great virtues.” — Agesilaus II
The British Embassy Manila, under the leadership of the hardworking British Ambassador Daniel Pruce, invited distinguished members of the diplomatic, business, government, media and social sectors in celebration of the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
Ambassador Daniel Pruce delivers his speech at the celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday.
Held at the Manila Polo Club in Makati City, the noteworthy event also served as a commemoration of the strength of the United Kingdom’s relationship with the Philippines and the two nations’ exciting prospects for the future. “The links between our countries and our peoples are rapidly becoming richer, closer and deeper,” Pruce said.
“Thanks for your fruitful and productive partnerships with us in so many areas. We cannot achieve anything without you.”
The British School Manila choir leads the singing of God Save the Queen.
Congratulations to the British Embassy Manila for a successful celebration!
