I've just noticed on the calender that Monday 2-June was the Queens birthday(don't know which one,real or official,but happy birthday Ma'am anyway) and it was a public holiday in ROI (where's that-India?) and also New Zealand,- - -Both far-flung corners of what is left of the Commonwealth. H.R.H. lives here in the U.K. so why on earth can't we have parity with our Colonial cousins and also have a public holiday to celebrate this glorious occasion too

Far flung? ROI = Republic of Ireland
Good heavens.

The Republic of Ireland do not celebrate the Queen's birthday with a public holiday.

Their public holidays include the first Monday of June which coincidentally fell on the Queen's birthday this year.

Did you really not know that ROI is Ireland?

Civil Servants get a day off for the Queen's Birthday.
