A Polite Address on the Occasion of Her Majesty The Queen's 80th Birthday

Today is of course the 80th Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen .

The UK is luckier than many are prepared to acknowledge in both the person of the Sovereign and the Institution of the Monarchy.

Despite the graceless carping of those with republican agendas (so disproportionately represented in sink-holes like the BBC), the Royal Family continue to deserve and to hold the respect, admiration and love of the vast majority of the Nation.

Even those currently in Government have come to appreciate and value the wisdom of the Monarch and the stabilising influence of the Monarchy.

As a loyal Subject what greater pleasure can there be than to wish Her Majesty very many Happy Returns and to express our earnest desire that there should many more.

God Save Elizabeth II, Dei Gratia Britanniarum Regnorumque Suorum Ceterorum Regina, Consortionis Populorum Princeps, Fidei Defensor, Lord of Mann, Duke of Normandy.
