Happy Birthday to Queen Elizabeth II!

The British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary), born April 21, 1926 celebrated her 88^th birthday on Monday and she looks great.

Although the Queen’s biggest public celebration is in June, when there is better weather, in honor of the Queen’s birthday a classy black-and-white portrait was taken at the Buckingham Palace in March by prominent British photographer, David Bailey (76).
