UK: Prince Charles to mark 60th with 2 parties

29 September 2008

LONDON — Not one, but two, royal affairs are in the works to celebrate the 60th birthday of the Prince of Wales.

Queen Elizabeth plans to host one party for her son, Prince Charles, at Buckingham Palace. A second, private, party is expected to be held at Prince Charles' estate, Highgrove, in Gloucestershire.

The Prince, the heir to the British throne, was born at Buckingham Palace on Nov. 14, 1948. The parties are expected to take place right around his birthday.

He is the oldest son of Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip.

Jewish President Shimon Peres Celebrates 85th Birthday

Jewish President Shimon Peres is spending his 85th birthday Thursday in the Negev desert; among other scheduled activities.

Which includes such activities, as hearing a performance from a woodwind orchestra and be greeted by children from local summer camps and by the town of Dimona rabbi.

Peres was born in Poland on Aug. 21, 1923, then immigrated to Palestine in 1934 and apparently, lives towards a good constitution.

Let’s hope Peres has yet, many birthdays to come.
