Happy Birthday Your Majesty - Sylvia Hermon
North Down’s Ulster Unionist MP, Lady Hermon, has today extended her warmest congratulations to Her Majesty The Queen for her 80th Birthday on Friday.
Speaking today from Westminster, Lady Hermon paid heartfelt tribute to The Queen, saying: “The Queen has faithfully served the people of the United Kingdom all her life, and as Queen for over fifty years now. She has consistently done so with a sense of enthusiasm, interest and encouragement. At a time when most people her age are well settled into retirement, Her Majesty continues her duty to all the people of this country.”
The local MP also acknowledged the steadfast support, dedication and loyalty of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh over the years: “With the support of Prince Philip, who will be 85 in June, The Queen sets us an example of selfless public service. On behalf of the people in my constituency, I send Her Majesty many happy returns and the peace and prosperity of her nation and people.”
