Hard to believe she is 90, with all the daily appointments she has. She really serves her country.

Had the honour to serve her and my country for 24+ years.

Many Happy Returns your Majesty. Long may you reign.

Sweet sixteen.

Princess Elizabeth, who the King appointed as Colonel in Chief of the Grenadier Guards in October 1942, wears an embroidered grenade in her cap and a blue enamelled and diamond brooch, the Regimental cypher, presented to her by the Regiment on her sixteenth birthday.

In early 1945 the Princess was made a Subaltern in the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS). By the end of WW2 she had reached the rank of Junior Commander, having completed her course at No. 1 Mechanical training Centre of ATS and passed out as a fully qualified driver.

I heard a wartime story once about someone who, on a country road in England, stopped to help because a vehicle was parked with it's bonnet (hood) up. A young ATS driver was bent over the engine, attempting to fix whatever was wrong. When he approached, he heard a stream of foul language and he was surprised when he realised it was Princess Elizabeth [:D] I like that story.

Cheers, Neilster
