The Chief Minister of Gibraltar, the Hon Fabian Picardo QC MP, said: "The visit of the Earl and Countess will be a highlight for us in Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee year and will be an opportunity for the People of Gibraltar to once again demonstrate our deep and unwaivering affection for our Sovereign and the Royal Family as the embodiment of the British sovereignty of Gibraltar.  

"I know that all of Gibraltar will look forward to the visit and that we will welcome the Earl and Countess with open arms, as only Gibraltar and the Gibraltarians know how!"
