A Royal Tradition
It has been a long established Royal tradition that the reigning Monarch sends out a message on the occasion of someone’s 100th birthday.
1917 - King George V first sent out a message on the occasion of a 100th birthday and to someone on their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
1940’s - Congratulatory messages were sent as telegrams by the Royal Mail’s Inland Telegram Service.
When the Post Office introduced the Special Greetings Telegram, The Queen agreed that the birthday telegrams should be sent out in this format to add to the sense of occasion.
1999 - Buckingham Palace produced a greetings card style telegram which featured a personalised message and offered a more warm and personal greeting.
