The British Queen and Prince Philip visited Canada House in London on Wednesday, July 19, to mark 150 years since the formation of the Canadian Confederation.
Canada’s Governor-General David Johnston presented the Queen with a sapphire brooch during the event to honour her sapphire jubilee.
The Queen was also shown a small exhibition of Canadian artefacts from the royal collection.
The Canadian Confederation was formed in 1867 upon the unification of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec.
