While I certainly wish our Queen a very happy anniversary of her actual birth date. Here in Canada we have always celebrated the 24th of May as Victoria Day which was Queen Victoria's birthday. As she was Queen for so long (65 years?) and the date so nicely matches with our spring and when you can count on frost free nights to plant gardens. We have celebrated the spring and all the Monarch's birthday since (whenever they were actually born) on May 24th ever since with fireworks, a long weekend, and too much beer.

I am looking forward to it!

God Save Our Queen.
