I don't think there was any connection at all between the two when the award was made, but as the time for both has drawn closer there will obviously be or appear to be a symbiosis between the two.
Agreed.

Our bid was put together shortly after the Queen's golden jubilee, and made no reference to her diamond jubilee, because as you say, there was no guarantee there'd be one.
