Responsibilities: Head of State As Head of State, I go on official State visits abroad. I also invite other world leaders to come to the United Kingdom.
Head of the Armed Forces I am the only person who can declare when the country is at war and when war is over, although I must take advice from the government first.
Head of the Church of England This is a position that all British monarchs have held since 1530s. I appoint archbishops and bishops on the advice of the Prime Minister.
Government Duties Every day 'red boxes' are delivered to my desk full of documents and reports from the government ministers and Commonwealth officials. They must all be read and, if necessary, signed by me.
Represent the Nation I represent the nation at times of great celebration or sorrow. One example of this is Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph monument in Whitehall. I lay a wreath there each year to honour the members of the armed forces who have died fighting for our country.
Royal Garden Parties At least three Royal Garden Parties are held at Buckingham Palace each year and about 8,000 guests attend each one.
Visits Alongside my other duties I spend a huge amount of time travelling around the country visiting hospitals, schools, factories and other places and organisations.

В цьому конкретному випадку довгих списків не буває, натомість бувають погано згорнуті, тому пакуємо сюди все підряд, а про "лишні" події можна буде промовчати пізніше. Список повинен бути систематизованим і посортованим в такий спосіб, щоб читач швидко зрозумів "паттерн" і міг легко орієнтуватись в просторі і часі цього резюме.
