Our Happy Queen

[zoony]

Saw a pic of her majesty the other day and was struck by how happy she is these days. Not only that but with a definite mischievous gleam in her eye which suggested that she'd just pinched the butler's backside.  .  So very nice to see after the last year or two.

[Sheila]

Yes, I thought that too.  She looked genuinely very happy.

[Michael Rolls]

yes - and well deserved

[zoony]

Very well deserved. This country owes HM much. Her steadfastness should be a compulsory study for self-important politicians everywhere.

[Scrumpy]

She has such a lovely smile.. I wish her well.

[-Oy-]

A product of taking a step back a little and resting perhaps?

She deserves it!

[zoony]

Plus she no longer has Phil the Greek to worry about.

[klondike]

He'd pretty much quit on causing embarrassments apart from dangerous driving. Can't say the same for some descendants though.

[Alex]

She was at the opening of the new Elisabeth Line in London this morning, looking amazing in yellow.

[zoony]

Lovely happy pic and in almost the identical outfit that she wore in 1966 at Wembley to present our footballers with the World Cup..

[Flying Bomb]

If she makes it to 100 years of age, she will be able to send a telegram to herself.

[zoony]

  Aye but these days she'll prob'ly get/send a text..

[zoony]

I really like her Gillie's stick walking 'aid'.. A very cool queen indeed..

[Raven]

They are great sticks. I have one that used to belong to my dad, it went up a few Munros with him. I use it in the forest and up on the hills, be lost without it.

[zoony]

Well, I dunno who makes 'em but they'd better up their production rates cos they'll sell an awful lot of 'em now!
