I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more changes, hopefully some new pictures.

That's why I look forward to checking out the Queen's 80th birthday website more often to check if there are any new pictures. :)

Thanks to purple_platinum for giving us this sneak peek at the website. I hope everybody has a chance to look at all the amazing photos in the actual website, its truly a work of art and very fitting for Her Majesty's birthday.

For those of you who didn't see the website yet, go check it out:

I just checked things out a bit, to see if there were any changes in the 90s or 2000s photo albums, which is where the photos were that were changed right after the site went live. For those living in Britain or with access to British papers, was there a "row" over no photo of Camilla with the queen? I'm just curious since the 1st time I looked at the 2000s photos there wasn't a picture and then later there was. Did it make the papers?

As far as i know like the previous Monarchs, The Queen also has two birthdays, one is her actual birthday, and the other one is the Sovereign's Birthday which often helds on a certain second Saturday in June when the weather is good.
Thanks for this thread, purple_platinum, i'm sure how wonderful it will be with lots and lots of pics of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with her coming 80th birthday wish all the best wishes for her and her family.:)__________________

It will be alot of celebrations, this year the 80th Anniversary of the birthday of The Queen and next year the 60th Wedding Anniversary of Her Majesty and His Royal Highness. I hope that there will be a Commonwealth Tour.

Oh, good; maybe I'll order one. Last time I got a brochure from the Royal Mint, the birthday crown was only available as part of a set of 17 crowns from different countries, and I wasn't about to buy all of them just to get one of the British ones.

I think that this coin, with those trumpets and the phrase "Vivat Regina", would be more suitable for a jubilee rather than for a birthday, however I'm going to buy it.

AuroraB · #92 03-22-2006, 03:53 PM

I can't remember which country it was from, but it was part of the Golden Jubilee collection issued by the BRM.

I would like to enquire if we know if any Euro-Royals will be attending the service in St Paul's to mark Her Majesty's Birthday in June.
