The Queen’s speech was uplifting, with its references to her Christian faith

When I listened to Her Majesty’s Christmas Day message, I was so uplifted with her comments about her personal Christian faith.

I was therefore most disappointed in your article on Boxing Day by Tony Jones about Queen Elizabeth’s speech (December 26).

Despite Her Majesty’s several references to Jesus Christ in her broadcast, not one mention of His name was included in your publication.
