Happy birthday to good Queen 'Liz, and many happy returns. I see that in six years she'll beat the 63 year reign of Queen Vicky. I wish we could skip a generation for the next monarch.

I missed this but what a lens with such stunning photo's. An American general once said that the British Army was all about brass bands and ceremonials. A pity he missed his outstanding piece.
