70 years as our Queen

@nedkelly yes she certainly is!

@MoonaNorth86 true history there Mona!

@OceanRoses love that

@bugeye Why do they have respect? They're only flesh and blood like the rest of us. Nothing special about them. And in many ways, not as good as the rest of us.

@jackieash not them. i only have respect for the queen herself. at 19 she was the first member to actively serve in the British armed forces and that was in WW2. if you can't at least respect her a lil for that then i dunno what to say. but she has been sometimes the voice of reason and advice not just in the UK but across the commonwealth and is technically the head of the British armed forces.

@bugeye Queen Betty was not the first royal to serve in the Armed Forces. Many many royals before her served and some were killed in battle. Not to take away what she did during WWII just setting the record straight.

@Mindfulness well you got your bank holiday!!!

@jackieash that's up to you!
