The Queen at 92

Hi John,
Both the 92nd and 95th Birthday photos are splendid portraits of our most resilient Queen.
I always enjoy your postings with pics of our Queen as it reminds me of my Mum who was named after both little Princesses in 1928 as Elizabeth Margaret.
Oh dear … a search of Margaret Windsor’s birth year of 1930 has just punctured that lifelong family belief of mine! Oh well, maybe Mum’s parents added the “Margaret” later??
But it does not alter my endearing association of my Mum to our Queen’s lovely pictures.
Thank you for your comments and lovely story. Who cares if the dates don’t quite work out. I’ve restored the 92nd birthday photo to the page. I like it.
By the way, I was quite wrong to think the new WordPress editor was more complex than the one I used for some 10 years. It is now wonderfully easy to do things like add a photo or video.
