It's not everyday someone receive a Royal reply; One small thought, one small idea. It all started back in February and the start of the celebrations in honor of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, platinum jubilee. Back in April a certain young person penned a poem and for this historic occasion. They decided maybe our Majesty might like to read this poem dedicated to her.
