Queen Elizabeth II is 80 today and the world is tumbling over itself to wish her well, express thanks for 53 amazing years on the Throne and as Head of State of the United Kingdom and many other countries around the world.

Some commentators are seeking a new appellation to mark the occasion. The historian Andrew Roberts wants her called : Elizabeth the Good, others Elizabeth the Great.

But from Syntagma: Happy birthday, Ma’am.
