Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh becomes 98 this Monday.

On the Duke of Edinburgh's birthday, some public celebrations are planned: a 41-gun salute by the KTRHA in Hyde Park at noon and by the HAC (62 guns) at Gun Wharf, Tower of London at 13:00.

Today HM Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her official birthday.

Household Guards begin to form at around 9:15. The monarch leaves Buckingham Palace around 10:45 and rides in a carriage down The Mall to Horse Guards Parade by St James’ Park. After taking a Royal salute from officers, Elizabeth II inspects pageantry.

When Pelé, the famous Brazilian footballer cost 800 thousand USD as a sportsman, the Georgian ski jumper Koba Tsakadze was officially called 1 million USD. Anyway, the ‘Flying Torpedo’ would not think about leaving his homeland and migrate in a far prosperous western country. This was a man of solid principles whom money could never buy. However, he frequently travelled all over the world, first as a sportsman, and later as an international referee or a guest of honour.

It is the 100th anniversary of her birthday today. Eva Perón is still adored by many Argentines for helping women get the vote, securing labour benefits for the working classes, and founding hospitals and orphanages.

A photograph of Eva Perón is still frequently found next to a copy of the Our Lady Guadalupe icon in many Argentinian households.
