Birthdays and Anniversaries marked by HM The King
Receiving a message from The King is an extra special gesture to mark a memorable day and is met with delight from recipients.
Some life events are worth recognition and that is certainly true of the milestones that can be celebrated with a personal message from The King.
Who can request a message from The King
Available to anyone marking these special occasions, a family member can apply for a message to be sent for the following milestones:
- 100th birthday
- 105th birthday (and every year after)
- 60th wedding anniversary (diamond anniversary)
- 65th wedding anniversary (blue sapphire anniversary)

If you would like a family member or friend to receive a message from The King to mark one of the above celebrations, make sure you apply to the Government office five weeks before the date.
Personal greetings and visits from the Lord-Lieutenant
