In honour of HRH Queen Elizabeth's birthday, I invite P&B members to celebrate by having a cup of Early Gray tea with some cream!
Interesting facts on HRH:
1. During WWII she was trained as a driver and mechanic, drover a military truck and rose to the rank of Junior Commander.
2. We both wear Hunter boots!
3. Her coronation gown was designed by Sir Norman Hartwell, which he depicted the emblems of the United Kingdom and the countries of the Commonwealth.
England-Tudor Rose
Wales-Welsh Leek
Scotland-Thistle
Ireland-Shamrock
Canada-Maple Leaf
Australia-Wattle Flower
New Zealand-Fern
South Africa-Protea
India-Lotus Flower
4. She introduced a new breed of dog where one of her corgis mated with a dachshund, consequently named a "dorgi."
5. While HRH's birthday is in April, she celebrates it in June.
