Return Visits
Indeed, Queen Elizabeth II, and her consort Prince Phillip, have returned to Malta on various occasions, residing in San Anton Palace for the duration of their visits.`The most notable of these visits was during their 60th wedding anniversary (a record for any monarch). During that time they reflected on their early years here together after their marriage when Prince Philip was stationed as first lieutenant on HMS Chequers, part of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, between 1949-1951 .

Famous quotes containing the words return and/or visits:
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying childs hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peers high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
“At La Scala it is customary to take no more than twenty minutes for those little visits one pays to boxes.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (17831842)
