90 is the new 50

As Her Majesty the Queen clearly demonstrates to us all on her 90th birthday, reaching 90 does not mean life stops. The Queen still performs many royal engagements, rides, goes to the races and enjoys life to the full. She also looks fabulous.

She chose to undertake an epic road trip rather than have treatment.Norma is travelling in a motor home with her son Tim, daughter-in-law Ramie and their pet poodle Ringo.
