Ah OK, Kath .......

Everything I read to see what did arrive just said "message", and I made an assumption.

My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

I thought it was just cards Sylvia. We arranged a message for my uncle's 100th birthday in 2015. We had to send a copy of his birth certificate as he lived in the Philippines but it was definitely a birthday card that he received with a lovely photo of the Queen on the front.

Yes, it's nice to have some good news for a change.

Hope he improves enough to enjoy his 100th birthday later in the year (and that the Queen remembers to send him a nice card :-D)

Hope he continues to improve.
