The Queen & Duke of Edinburgh attend Platinum Anniversary

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Around 140 guests attended dinner at Windsor Castle on Monday evening in celebration of The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's 70th wedding anniversary.

Hosted by Her Majesty and Prince Philip, family and friends of the couple attended the private celebrations at the castle for the Platinum Anniversary.

Among the guests were the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry who were photographed arriving at the venue.

Other senior and extended members of The Royal Family also attended the dinner. As the event was private, no official photos will be released.

Family from overseas also attended the dinner, including Prince Philip's nephew Maximilian, Margrave of Baden, and the Margrave's brother, Prince Ludwig of Baden.

The 81-year-old Margrave of Baden is a nephew to Prince Philip through his mother. He is also first cousin to the Prince of Wales.

It is unknown what presents the guests will have gifted to Her Majesty and Prince Philip. We do, however, know what the 91-year-old Monarch has gifted to her 96-year-old husband.

Earlier today, Her Majesty appointed Prince Philip to be a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO).

The Duke's appointment to the Royal Victorian Order comes on the day when he and The Queen are celebrating 70 years of marriage.

Unlike most honours, appointments to the Royal Victorian Order are made personally by The Queen for services to the Sovereign.

The 96-year-old Duke is one of 41 living people to be bestowed with the honour.

Other recipients include the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke of York and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.

Members of Her Majesty's staff have also been bestowed with the honour, including former Private Secretary Lord Geidt and Sir Alan Reid, The Queen's Courtier.

I like showing classics to my younger students so they learn a little more about movies. Hitchcock's Rear Window is a must to all movie lovers.

Some verbs of perception see, look at, hear, listen to, and feel, along with watch and sense can be used with objects followed by other verbs (base form or gerunds, but not infinitives).

Examples :

We heard you leave. (Okay. Emphasis on our hearing.)
Weheard you leaving. (Okay. Emphasis on your leaving.)
We heard you to leave. (Incorrect!)

Other examples:

I saw her go. (okay. Focus on my seeing.)
Look at that man run! (okay. Focus on their looking.)
Sylvester listened to the canary sing. (okay, focus on his listening.)
Wewatched them play basketball. (okay, focus on our watching.)
Wewatched them playing basketball. (okay, focus on their playing.)
Trudy canfeel the wind blowing against her skin. (okay, focus on the wind's blowing.)
Mr. Toddsensed the lion approaching. (okay, focus on the lion's approaching.)

I. Watch the movie segment and complete sentences with one verb of the given verbs of perception and the objects followed by other verbs in parentheses. Use as many verbs as possible. Then decide where the action main focus is.

LOOK AT - SEE - HEAR - LISTEN TO - WATCH - SENSE
