Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on March 12, 1949)

Happy birthday, David Mellor! From managing the Treasury's numbers to curating national heritage (and gracefully dealing with all those opera tickets), your career has certainly been one for history books and humorous anecdotes alike.

As Minister of Arts you've championed culture; as MP of Putney you represented voters steadfastly—often stepping into debates with sharp wit matched only by your memorable glasses. May this year add yet another timeless achievement worthy enough to rival even that famous Chelsea kit incident!

Here's wishing you endless good cheer—and may laughter always follow wherever politics once led. Cheers on a splendid day!
