Happy Birthday!



Happy Birthday to our dear Queen!
90 today, and seen here with her son, grandson and great-grandson.
Prince George is standing on foam blocks to give him the height needed.
This photo was taken specifically to use the heads of the family on a series of new stamps.



She's pictured here with her other grandchildren.
Note the handbag!


Our Queen has been a truly wonderful example over the many years of her reign.
Happy Birthday, Your Majesty!

What an amazing woman Queen Elizabeth is! I love the photo of the 4 generations My late husband was English and through him, I fell in love with everything English. Happy Birthday, Queen Elizabeth II.

I'm so glad to call her Our Queen, too. She has been a wonderful example for so many years. The photo with her grand and great grandchildren is so sweet - and the little one holding her purse - adorable!

Love the pictures. I have always loved the Royal Family and there's only two countries I would love to visit, England being one and Israel being the other.
