Birthday Wishes

Beginning in 1973 when he was 59 years old, the Times (London) included Henry Reed in the daily birthday announcements, in their "Court and Social" page. This continued up until his death, in 1986, at the age of 72 (with the exception of 1979, when the Times was in the midst of a year-long newspaper strike). In honor of the 95th anniversary of Reed's birth, here's his announcement from February 22, 1985:
