How would you celebrate your wedding anniversary? A party with your friends perhaps, or maybe a dinner for two in a small intimate restaurant?
Britain’s reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, called their diamond anniversary, with a service in Westminster Abbey, with 2000 guests.

Amongst the guests were five choristers from the Queen’s wedding in 1947, as well as 10 couples who married on the same day.

The service was also watched by Prime Minister Gordon Brown as well as his predecessors John Major and Baroness Thatcher.

The Queen is the first British monarch to reach a diamond wedding anniversary.

One of the couples, who married on the same day as the Queen, Margaret and Horace Bunn, said meeting the royal couple had been the "icing on the cake".

Mr Bunn told BBC News: "We had a bit of an idea we might meet the Queen but we didn't know it was going to happen."

His wife added: "We were really looking forward to meeting her and she was so nice."
