The UK's popular sushi restaurant is celebrating Queen Elizabeth's 60th year on the throne with a commemorative plate and a special desert.

While the festivities have generated less buzz in other countries the Queen nominally rules, pretty much everyone in Britain is royally excited about the diamond jubilee celebrations.

Monarchists are getting ready to doff their caps to Her Majesty and republicans are hoping the sunshine will last because most Brits get to enjoy a four-day weekend, thanks to a celebratory public holiday.
