The People's Friend Magazine

21 September 2022

The People's Friend - Issue 7946 - For the 70 years of her reign, Queen Elizabeth has held a special place in the hearts of 'Friend' readers, and we wanted to pay our own respects to our beloved monarch, who has been a constant in all our lives for as long as we can remember. Our front cover features a beautiful portrait of the Queen originally painted by J. Campbell Kerr in June 2012, the year Her Majesty celebrated her Diamond Jubilee. It’s accompanied by a heartfelt and touching tribute by our royal writer, Ian Lloyd, while the Rev. Ian W.F. Hamilton reflects on the Queen’s sense of duty and devotion to her faith throughout her long reign, and we share some of our favourite letters from you, our wonderful readers, about the memorable moments in your own lives when an encounter with the Queen touched your hearts... Plus your usual favourite 'People's Friend' features, with stories, serials, health, gardening, knitting, recipes, travel, and much more inside.
