QUEEN ELIZABETH 11 DIAMOND JUBILEE

This year my charity quiz will be raising monies for MacMillan Nurses.

Can you find the 100 answers from the clues below? I've given you a helping hand by giving you the number of letters and/or number of words in the answer e.g. Who is the Queen's 1st son? Answer 7 Charles. Where the answer is a number it is left blank.
