How old is she, anyway?

I was walking home this morning from my daughter's school, and a few of we "walking parents" were trying to guess how old our gracious Queen was. I guessed late seventies. Others guessed early or mid-seventies.

The answer? Queen Elizabeth the 2nd is hale and hearty at the age of 80 years old! She was born on April 21st, 1926. Her coronation was in 1953, and many people still living recall this event as the first event they watched on their "new" black and white TV's.

So, our Queen is older than any of us thought. And may she continue in good health at the old Buckingham Palace!
