From debating the pronunciation of ‘scone’ to moaning about the weather, nothing is more British than putting up the bunting and celebrating the Queen’s birthday.
So in true 21st century style the big names of south west London took to Twitter to wish Queen Elizabeth a Happy 90th Birthday this morning .
MP for Chelsea and Fulham Greg Hands kicked celebrations off early this morning.
