I would fold preflop, but I think the rest of the hand is fine.

Well played postflop although the preflop call is questionable, its nice when A /images/graemlins/heart.gifK /images/graemlins/heart.gif misses his draw but you can't bet that river.

Just curious - If your Q /images/graemlins/club.gif falls on the river making your two pair and UTG bets out do you raise here?

Preflop not nice.

Turn raise questionable.

At first reading I like the turn raise, in thinking I don't think it has much merit. Your raise might scare of an 8, T or overcards who will continue to bet the river when you are ahead, secondly you don't want to get 3bet. Finally I think your raise will get called on the river if you hit a diamond, maybe even a 9 or a Q, so you don't stand to win any more by raising the turn.
