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 ;-) |

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 |

I think that answer has already been given, the answer is yes.
Our queen has a very good sense of humour as people who have met her will attest. I doubt if you could have done the job for so long without one.

What a disappointment today is the Lyons' version in comparison, over-sweetened and much smaller in size! In 1970 it was a manual operation taking the 3ft square sponge cases and cutting then down to size, but, I have to say, there was huge wastage destined for the pigswill bins. |
