Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced that he will travel to the United Kingdom to participate in Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, from June 4-6, 2012.  His Excellency The Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada and James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage, will also be attending events for the Diamond Jubilee. 

While in London, Prime Minister Harper will attend a number of events celebrating the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty’s accession to the throne, including the Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral and a BBC concert at Buckingham Palace.
