How do we find out what is true and what is false about the Queen of England?
Ideally the best people to believe would be from eye-witnesses. These are people who see for themselves.
How do we find out what is true and what is false about Jesus?
Our faith isn't based on people's ideas, but on TRUTH! Jesus really is who he said he was when he lived on earth. He hung out with people, like Peter, who then wrote about what they saw : Read 2 Peter 1:16
We're celebrating Queen's Birthday this weekend, so read this first to work out which questions are true and which are false :
Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926 with the very royal names of Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.
She is now 94 years old, and spends most of her time living at Buckingham Palace. Her first dog was a Corgi named Susan, and since then has had over 30 Corgi dogs. She has even created her own breed of dog, a Dorgi - which is a mixture of a Corgi and a Dachshund. She doesn’t need a passport to travel or a driver’s licence to drive. She has travelled to 117 countries during her reign.
She married her third cousin, Philip Mountbatten, and is known as the head of the Church of England. She has 4 children : Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward.
The Queen speaks fluent French and likes to eat tuna and mayo sandwiches and drink Earl Grey tea. Her favourite cake is Chocolate Biscuit Cake.
On her visits, she has been given many strange presents, including lots of animals. These include : sloths, black beavers, an elephant, tortoises, horses, cows, kangaroos, swans, crocodiles and jaguars.
Every weekday (Monday to Friday) someone plays bagpipes at 9am outside her bedroom window, to wake her up.
