For her Diamond Jubilee in 2012, the Queen had a stained-glass window created for her in Westminster Hall. The Golden Jubilee of 2002 saw a sundial installed in Westminster’s Old Palace Yard, while the 1977 Silver Jubilee resulted in a fountain being built in nearby New Palace Yard.

But the Queen is used to receiving more exotic gifts from the UK, Commonwealth and beyond. These have included a wine cooler in the shape of a grasshopper, a marzipan statue and, more appetisingly perhaps, a tin of pineapple. Well-wishers have also given Her Majesty animals such as cows, jaguars, kangaroos and a sloth - which have remained in their own habitats, for fear of ecological disruption 破坏 中断and damaging the lawns of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
但是女王习惯了从英国本土、英联邦及其他地区收到更具异域风情的礼物,诸如一只蚱蜢形的冰酒器,一个杏仁蛋白糖雕像,以及可能更为美味可口的菠萝罐头。很多支持者还给女王陛下献上了奶牛、美洲豹、袋鼠和树懒等动物,出于对破坏生态环境和白金汉宫、温莎城堡周边草坪的担忧,人们让这些动物继续生活在原栖居地。
