he won't be getting a telegram from the queen now...

If the Queen makes it to 100, will she send herself one? ;-)
why not

Well it won't be a telegram it;s a standard card delivered by the royal mail.
And you have to apply for it at least 3 weeks in advance if you want one.

Oh and of course the Queen doesn,t send it or licks the back of the stamp ;-)


She used to sign every 100th birthday card for a while. Stopped that
a longggg time ago. There are now 14,500 over 100 and now that the
last of the post WW1 baby boom have joined them there could be more,
depending on how many avoided Covid-19
