God Save Our Gracious Queen

It may be less than ten days to the most anticipated wedding in years but tomorrow is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's eighty-fifth birthday and we want to wish her continues good health and every happiness for many years to come. (With all due respect to the Prince of Wales who today became the longest serving heir apparent in British history.)


Look and Learn, a London-based picture library specializing in educational images, is marking the occasion by presenting Her Majesty with a digital photo frame containing 15,000 portraits of the Queen, painted by children from 64 countries. 


The paintings on the Look and Learn web site are wonderful - full of spirit and very charming. I think Her Majesty will be very delighted by a gift that represents many hours of earnest labor, creativity, and love for the Monarch. Here are a few highlights:
