Prince Andrew is due to unveil the commemorative plaque, which will take pride of place in Aurora's Queen's Diamond Jubilee Park, at a special event on June 5. The Queen's son will take part in several events in the Aurora and Toronto areas to commemorate new battle honours received by the Queen's York Rangers. The Aurora leg of the Royal Visit will include a celebratory lunch benefiting the Queen's York Rangers Regimental Assistance Fund at a location which will be announced closer to the date. Following the lunch, the Duke of York will unveil the commemorative plaque before celebrations continue in Toronto with a parade at Old Fort York. There, His Royal Highness will review a Trooping of the Guidon ceremony, which will be the formal recognition of the Queen's York Rangers' four new battle honours. After June 5, the plaque will be installed in Diamond Jubilee Park, formerly Civic Square Park, on John West Way, just north of Aurora Town Hall. The Duke of York has been Colonel-in-Chief of Aurora's regiment since 1999. The Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal was awarded to 60,000 Canadians nation-wide who have contributed to public life to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne in 2012. |
