►On behalf of the whole country, I want to wish Her Majesty the Queen a very special 90th birthday.
►Her Majesty has devoted her entire life to the service of others representing our country, and carrying out all her duties with extraordinary grace and humility.
►Rarely has anyone in public life served for so long, served so brilliantly, worked so hard, and brought so many people together.
►And in this modern Elizabethan era, in which so much around her has changed, Her Majesty has been steadfast, a rock of strength for our nation, for our Commonwealth, and on so many occasions, for the whole world.
►She is our Queen and we could not be more proud of her.
►Happy Birthday Your Majesty, and long may you continue to reign over us all.
