In an unprecedented step, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II will not celebrate her 94th birthday in any special way and has asked that there be none of Britain's traditional gun salutes to mark the occasion because it would not be appropriate while the country battles a deadly coronavirus outbreak.

It is believed to be the first such request in the Queen's 68-year reign, the source said.

Buckingham Palace last month said a parade to celebrate the Queen's official birthday, which is celebrated in June, would not go ahead in its traditional form in light of restrictions on social gatherings.

Buckingham

Old English Buccingahām, from the personal name Bucca (see bucca (“he-goat”)^[1]) 

+ -ing (“belonging to”) + hām (“home”). Compare Buckinghamshire.

Witches’ Sabbath (The Great He-Goat) is one of the haunting “Black Paintings” artist Francisco Goya 

created during the later years of his life. Goya, who by then was nearly deaf and suffering from profound depression, retreated into the isolation of his studio and covered his walls with these macabre masterpieces. This particular creation is a deeply disturbing painting that has the power to shock, even though it is centuries old.
