Speaking ahead of a weekend of events to mark the Platinum Jubilee, Secretary of State for Scotland Alister Jack said:

I send my heartfelt congratulations to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, on her Platinum Jubilee.

The Platinum Jubilee is a reminder of what an extraordinary life The Queen has led. She has been, and continues to be, a dignified and hardworking figurehead to the nation. Not just dedicated, but compassionate, warm and humorous.

I know people across Scotland will join me in wishing her the very best on this huge milestone, and thanking her for her lifetime of service.
