Perhaps you can explain it to a dumb yank.

We, or I at least, have always refered to anniversaries as:

25 silver
50 golden
75 diamond

amongst the major milestones that is.

I keep hearing of the Queen's diamond jubilee celebrating her 60 years on the throne. Or am I missing something??

60 has always been Diamond over here. Probably dates from when achieving it was so unusual due to age. Now t's harder because fewer people are actually marrying in the first place!
