Good on ya lady
On February 6th 1952 a young Princess climbed a small hill in Kenya to view wild animals, she came down a queen.
A telegram informing her of the death of King George 6th her father.
Throughout the past 65 years this very fine lady has been the strength that has held the Commonwealth and UK together, seeing more than a dozen Prime ministers and governments along with countless foriegn leaders.
Greatly loved by the people of UK and admired by so many around the globe.
She has shown great leadership, strength, loyalty, and stability through all of this time.
Having survived WW2 and seen so many conflicts since.
Her devotion and loyalty to her people is a trait rarely found in the world of today, she goes about her duties in a manner that many could and should follow, her example of how a head of state should conduct themselves is more than admiral.
She has endured family up disruptions, condemnation by those who consider a republic to be a better system, yet though it all she has stood tall, head and shoulders above without loosing grace.
Long may she continue in this vein.
May the good Lord bless her and keep her safe for all times.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
