    What a ridiculous waste of money - her birthday is not even celebrated in England and 99% of the population here would not know the date! Yet another example of the outdated, cobweb-ridden approach to diplomacy, creating the false impression of a Victorian society - but music to the ears of the elites of Latin America.

    Pytangua, the Queen's birthday is celebrated by embassies because Britain has no independence day or national day to celebrate like other countries do. Kind of a sad thing for us, really.

    If we celebrated independence days of all ex-colonies we'd never get any work done. ;)

    rather more worthwhile celebration than your very recent somewhat questionable “celebration” of your humiliating defeat in the Falklands, wouldn't you agree?
