congratulations your majesty

[excelsior-1]

just felt like adding my humble voice to the tens of millions that have already spoken.

60 years, and still going strong .. long may she reign

[tenrec]

I think I'll change my avatar to union flag for the occasion.

[Kiki-frog]

Well I'm doing my bit, Tenrec.

[excelsior-1]

that is a nice gesture tenrec.

are you planning to join in local events and celebrations.

actually, let me ask all AB'ers, how are you planning to celebrate this occasion? (if you are)

[MarkRae]

I find nothing to celebrate.

[tenrec]

We are having a street party. Out of 21 properties only one person was not at all interested. The other were all enthusiastic. One poor lady who is quite unwell handed us a £10 toward the celebrations so will take her and her husband a couple of plates of food on the day.

[excelsior-1]

very charitable tenrec. i salute you.

you found a suitably appropriate avatar too, nice one

[rowanwitch]

hoping it will be a nice enough day to do some birding while folk are otherwise occupied

[gness]

Like Rowan I shall be birding and getting ready for a two week, mostly birding,holiday but I....
Wish you all well with your celebrations.
Hope the weather is kind.
Even if you have no interest in the monarchy join in...get to know your neighbours...have some fun and be happy.

Love Gx

[gness]

And long may Kiki keep her avatar and post lots!

[berniecuddles]

[missnemesis]

Do you reckon old lizzy reads AB then excelsior?

[excelsior-1]

there is nothing wrong in showing my patriotism

[rowanwitch]

Didn't you know she was banned in 2008 for not thanking people for their answers in Q and P

[missnemesis]

>>> there is nothing wrong in showing my patriotism <<<

Absolutely not excelsior, just as there is nothing wrong in those of us who do not share your views, showing our lack thereof.

[gness]

Just heard that all the churches in our valley are doing a chain of bell ringing on Monday morning. That will be so good!

[Jan1957]

I will be celebrating too excelsior, a street party on sunday afternoon and a pub quiz in the evening.

[tenrec]

Not if you want a lie in gness ;-)

[gness]

I hope to be sitting on my suitcase waiting for my lift to the station Tenrec otherwise you could be right.
