    Happy Birthday to her - she deserves a good day. Maybe she does live in luxury but how many people would want her job? She works long hours, has no privacy, is never allowed to let her guard drop and knows the slightest wrong move will be pounced on and spread round the world. With all her experience she is worth far more than any elected political leader and I would not swap her with a President for all the tea in China.

    That is no way to speak of our Sovereign, have some respect for a lady who has served her country with moral courage and devotion.

    Happy Birthday Your Majesty!
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    I agree. Also, why do we need to hear about her everytime we watch, listen or read the news!? The Royal Family should be abolished. And as for the arguments about tourism - all the tourist attractions will still be there, only the actual people wont be - Its not like many people see them anyway. And its the 21st century - why is the head of our country there by birth, not election?

    Well I'm glad she managed to get a little part time job on the side, as a prison officer, as well as all her other engagements.....

    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
    but she doesn't have a lot to say
    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
    but she changes from day to day

    I want to tell her that I love her a lot
    But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
    Someday I'm going to make her mine, oh yeh,
    someday I'm going to make her mine

    She's served more than her country, her Commonwealth as well.

    As a Canadian I add my birthday wishes on this day of celebration.

    Going back to Golach's remarks, when my Mum got a coronation mug back in the 1950s, all the chihldren scraped off the second '1' so that she was Queen Elizabeth 1 of Scotland, which of course technically she is. Aparently there was some debate at the time as to what she should be called in Scotland.

    Because the people we elect are politicians and the head of a country should be above politics. All politicians are by nature dishonest, corrupt and devious, you have to be to get anywhere at all in politics, if they told us the truth we wouldn't vote for them. At least with a hereditory monarchy you stand a 50/50 chance of getting someone half decent.

    She is the only Queen Elizabeth we have had in Scotland, therefore she is the First. Our King James VI, had to become King James I of England, to facilitate the English politicians. Though I am one of her loyal Scots people. she is still ER I to me

    Honesty from the Stuart Dynasty? You're deluded.

    She does not belong to the Stuart Dynasty. Bonnie Prince Charlie was the last attempt the Stuarts had at getting onto the throne.

    William of Orange was given the throne because of his relationship with James 1. as was George because of his Grandmother's link through, or as, Princess Sophie.I may not be entirely accurate with these names but the present monarchy come in direct line from George1 of Hanover. I would therefore stand by my statement. Dutch and Germans instead of Catholics. Charlie was the last attempt by a catholic Stuart to try for the throne.
