Trooping the colour . . .


Happy (official) Birthday Ma'am!

Whether you are a monarchist or not, there's no denying that the Queen is doing very well. I must say I hope I look half as good as the Queen does here if I reach 83 years of age. (I do like the turquoise outfit - That's one of 'my colours' too!)

It's incredible to think that this is the 57th time that the Queen has been present for the annual celebration of her 'official' birthday. Well, I suppose it saves the Duke of Edinburgh asking the perennial question, 'And what would you like to do for your birthday this year, dear?'

The BBC have posted this archive recording on their website. I find these old black and white recordings fascinating. I hope you find it interesting too.
