I am surprised this has not been mentioned before. 59 years loyal and dignified service as Head of State.
God Bless Her
I would have had champagne if I had remembered it is Her Majesty's birthday
I'll raise a glass to Her Majesty anyway - long may she reign
59 years as Head of State. And what a state its in.
As this is mainly a local website about Forest Hill/Honor Oak Park, I'm surprised that anyone was surprised there wasn't a mention of the Queen's birthday.
Dear Admin
I believe a number of posts have been moved. Not sure why ?
In answer to Oryx we mention many subjects completely outside the UK so mentioning our Monarch surely is OK.
It is a tribute to our multicultural society that we continue to make this immigrant family so very welcome here.
...this immigrant family ...
Ah, I see you're a fellow-Jacobite, Perryman. Still, they've been here for three hundred years, so I guess we can recognize them de facto if not de jure.
Possibly less immigration than, marriages based on strengthening, political, religious and other motivation in a succession of years gone by when child mortality and interbreeding were the norm; ie Hapsburg Lip, the madness of Russian Tsars (correct if needed on that one) and haemophillia.
Very much up for the Jacobian subplot though xx
And a sizeable number of them are still calling the wrong man 'daddy'......
