Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has announced plans to step down from her role after 52 years on the throne.
Sharing the news in her annual New Year's Eve speech on Sunday, the monarch said she intends to pass the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik. The abdication will be made official on January 14, the 52nd anniversary of the queen's succession.

Margrethe said she received back surgery in February which influenced her decision to abdicate.

"Everything went well, thanks to the competent health personnel, who took care of me. Inevitably, the operation gave cause to thoughts about the future — whether now would be an appropriate time to pass on the responsibility to the next generation," the monarch said.

Class act, she is really interesting public figure and has led a very interesting life. She's 83.

Oh well, maybe the octogenarians in DC will follow suit and do what is best for our country.

A gang attacked a girl and her boyfriend and beat them with chains
They were caught.
The attackers were second-generation immigrants.

16- and 17-year-old immigrants from Somalia.
They were unrepentant and laughed in the victims' faces at the trial.
They were released after a few months.
