Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on February 24, 1940)

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Jonathan Bailey! You were always ahead of your time—managing Derby and Dunwich dioceses with skill, dedication, and an unmistakable charm. Your sermons may have been serious affairs, but your ability to sneak humor into pastoral duties was truly divine intervention!

We still fondly recall how you navigated delicate church matters as wisely as a shepherd guiding his flock—and don't get us started on those bishop's hats; nobody wore their mitre quite like you! Celebrating today means smiling at the wonderful legacy you've left behind: leadership wrapped so warmly in kindness that it became timeless indeed.
