Despite outbursts, Prince Philip is queen's 'strength and stay'

When Queen Elizabeth II turns 80 this week, Prince Philip will be, as always, by her side as lifelong consort and confidant, someone she calls her "strength and stay."

Yesterday morning the Queen went horse back riding in the Windsor Park! :)

Picture from Enigma via The Daily Mail - and a special thanks to Alex G of the GREMB for finding the article + picture.

Since the Queen's 80th birthday is today, just a reminder that events relating to that momentous event should be discussed in Queen Elizabeth's 80th Birthday Celebration 2006 thread, not here. Thanks.

HAS OUR QUEEN FAILED TO MAKE HER MARK ON HISTORY?

I'VE always felt warm towards the Queen. I don't specifically remember her succeeding to the throne in February 1952, but I clearly recall the day of her coronation 16 months later.
