正文(英文) | This year marks 70 years since the accession to the Throne of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen becomes the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, culminating in a four day UK bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 June. We are incredibly proud to be a Royal Society for almost 140 years. It is an honour that Her Majesty The Queen served as our Patron for nearly 50 years from her succession, having taken on the role from her father, HM King George VI, until Patronage passed to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales in 2002. Prof Liz Bentley, Chief Executive, said:
On Friday 14 July 1978, at 12 noon, Her Majesty The Queen, as Patron of the Society, declared open an exhibition of the Royal Meteorological Society, unveiled a plaque to commemorate the opening of the former Head Office of the Society at James Glaisher House in Bracknell, and 'honoured the President (Prof J. T. Houghton) with her presence at luncheon in the Fellows' Room'. In an article in our Weather journal, it was reported that 'a dense throng listened to the opening speeches'. It was also noted this was 'the first time in our history that the Sovereign has visited the Society. It is particularly gratifying that the major contributions being made by British meteorologists, climatologists, and oceanographers should be recognised in this way.' In formally opening the Exhibition, Her Majesty commented:
After lunch, Her Majesty was presented with a gift from the Society - an autographic rain-gauge - that would be installed at Balmoral to complement the already existing climatological station. Finally, the article noted the weather: "quite uncharacteristically in this rather dismal summer, it was a gorgeous day." (1978), ROYAL VISIT TO THE SOCIETY. Weather, 33: 427-430. https://doi.org/10.1002/j.1477-8696.1978.tb04623.x
