Certainly is Ken, surprised someone didn't get it sooner, she has been in the news quite a lot over the past week.
From Wikipedia.
Margrethe II (Danish:[mket]; Margrethe Alexandrine Þórhildur Ingrid, born 16 April 1940) is Queen of Denmark. Having reigned for over 51 years, she is the world's only queen regnant, the longest-reigning current European monarch, and the longest-serving incumbent female head of state. During her annual New Year's Eve address on 31 December 2023, Margrethe announced that she will abdicate in favour of her son, Crown Prince Frederik, on 14 January 2024, the 52nd anniversary of her accession.[2]
And of course our own Mary will become queen.
"In less than a week, Tasmania's own Mary Donaldson will become Queen of Denmark. The Australian princess will ascend to the throne on January 14 alongside her husband Crown Prince Frederik after the shock abdication of her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe."
Clue Time: Australian. Now deceased, he was a member of one of the greatest rock bands, not only in Australia, but globally.

You got it Graham. Who do you have for us ?
MALCOLM YOUNG
Far removed from the loud, sweaty stages and stadiums of his greatest performances, AC/DC guitarist and songwriter Malcolm Young was farewelled with hymns in a house of God.
Family including younger brother Angus Young and some of the biggest names in Australian rock such as Jimmy Barnes, Angry Anderson and promoter Michael Chugg were at Tuesday's service at St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney.
His beloved Gretsch guitar nicknamed "The Beast" rested on top of his coffin during the service, and many fans also attended to pay tribute.
After the service, Angus carried the guitar out to the hearse as his brother's coffin was loaded inside.
Young was remembered as both a legendary guitarist, and humble friend.
Malcolm Young was born on 6 January 1953 in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. He was a composer and actor, known for School of Rock (2003), Last Action Hero (1993) and Maximum Overdrive (1986). He was previously married to Linda. imdb.com

Frederick Cossom Hollows AC was a New ZealandAustralian ophthalmologist who became known for his work in restoring eyesight for people in Australia and many other countries through initiatives such as The Fred Hollows Foundation.
She was a well known American tennis player in the 50's, I imagine younger Nomads would have never heard of her.

Hi Ken, you may like to post a photo? This is not a part of the forum I regularly visit, but Santa makes some great contributions in other areas, so when I spotted his name, in BIG letters, I decided to read his post.
If Ken chooses not to supply a picture perhaps someone else can help? First in , first served! Cheers
