Indeed I am!
Thanks for the information on Edward VII. I didn't know that.

Yes, my very best to her. I have always admired her and hope to continue admiring her for some time to come.

Indeed, long may she reign over us. I will raise a glass to her this evening.

Is there a way to forward our well-wishes to Buckingham? I know we could all mail cards and letters, but could the assembled sentiments of we the kilted form the world around be given to Her Majesty, as they appear here? Do we know somebody who could do that?

God Save the Queen!

She is in the truly rare company with Victoria, not just for the longevity of their reign, but for wisdom in rule and service to her subjects. Truly a great monarch among great monarchs.
