Hi Billy
I knew you would celebrate with me.

Let me share something with you. During the darkest days of World War 2, after Dunkirk and Hitler preparing to invade the United Kindom, some politicians urged the Royal Family to evacuate to Canada.
When this was suggested to HM Queen Elizabeth (our current Queens mother RIP) said "I will not leave without the Princesses, the King will not leave without me and I will not leave without the King"

With Winston Churchill saying "we shall never surrender" and he meant it. He had sandbags and a machine gun installed installed in the House of Commons for him to make a final stand.

I am proud to have Her Majesty as my Queen

love david

I send a birthday card to HM The Queen when the her jubilee started. I have naught but affection, loyalty and respect for her and in awe of her decades of service to england and the world. THREE CHEERS FOR HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN! Hip Hip~Hooray! Hip Hip~Hooray! Hip Hip~Hooray! http://youtu.be/Q8sYqjCD118

I'm not sure what Billy you are referring to, but this I must share with "my" Billy and yes he and we will all wish Her Majesty The Queen a happy birthday and many more!

I'm a US citizen but of Scottish ancestory. I appreciate the Royal Family for what they do and stand for. They are the 'face' of a GREAT NATION and GREATER PROPLE. So in respect an honor of "HRH',
"God Save The Queen - Long May She Reign".
