The Scottish Government suggested 52 amendments before the publication of a special children’s book to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Civil servants provided feedback to the UK Government after receiving the draft original text of Queen Elizabeth: A Platinum Jubilee celebration.

Changes suggested include references to England’s 1966 World Cup victory, the death of the Queen Mother as a “tragedy” and perceived Anglo-centric references to a sightseeing bus tour of London.

The amendments were contained in a series of emails released under Freedom of Information. They highlighted concerns about the book from staff in the Scottish Government’s curriculum, qualifications and Gaelic division.

The book is about a young girl called Isabella on a visit to her great granny Joyce, who tells her about the Queen and this year’s Jubilee.
