Although her actual birthday is in April, HMQEII celebrates it in June, when the weather’s bound to be much better. One of the things I loved about living in the UK was that the country celebrates special occasions together, like the opening of the Olympics in 2012, and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee the same year.
For her 90th birthday, many villages, towns and even just streets have celebrations, and this year, the pubs will be open late to keep the fun going.
Everyone gets involved and it really brings the whole country together. Here are some of the celebratory events I’ve found. In addition to charming events, the posters are wonderful!
HM is the patron of the Churchbell Ringers, and they’re having a luncheon on the Mall.
The villages of Chideock and Seatdown are having a party and you’re invited.
The beautiful Regency town of Bath is having a picnic.
Great Yarmouth Minster is having a sing-along.
Mayfair… Gonna be classy, innit?
Pescod Square is hosting a shopping event.
Wolverley Memorial Hall
You might have noticed a theme here: Bunting!
I have the Union Jack bunting hanging on my front porch,
Cheers, your Majesty!
Your last paragraph is ugly. Not everyone is privileged enough to grow up in Roland Park and evolve into a fat snob.
