Today, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II turned 90 years old.

Since The Queen is related directly to the main theme of my collection and her photos (and her jewellery's) often appear in the descriptions of my banknotes, I can not miss to mention it.

Congratulations to The Queen and I wish her even longer to be in good health. With age you begin to realize, that changes are not always for the better. Being on the throne since 1953, already 2-3 generations of British have grown up with the knowledge, that the Queen of England - Elizabeth II. Despite all her disadvantages, like all people have, The Queen - a woman of "the old school" and not the fact, that the next King will be strengthened in the same way, as she did, in people's minds. Times have changed, and people too. And not to better side.

Therefore, health and strength to The Queen!

And now about today's updating.
