Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on July 31, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Frank Gardner! As the BBC's fearless Security Correspondent, you've navigated war zones and diplomatic minefields with equal ease—yet somehow still manage to make airport security look like your toughest assignment. Your insightful reporting keeps us informed; your dry wit ensures we're entertained.

From decoding complex global threats to calmly explaining geopolitical chaos before our morning coffee kicks in—you've mastered it all. May this birthday bring fewer breaking news alerts and more cake breaks!

Here's wishing you another year of sharp analysis, safe travels (preferably without any surprise detours), and plenty of laughs along the way. Cheers!
