Yep, it's only 7:30am of a blustery Monday morning (thanks, Storm Henry) but Directioners are already out in force wishing Harry Styles a happy 22nd, making him the number one trending topic on twitter this morning.
While most of them insist on posting photos of him from a few years back, when he looked like a foetus, and lamenting the fact that Harry's getting older...

Indeed you could say he's aged a lot in 6 years, but wouldn't anyone given the gruelling tour schedule he's had to maintain.
As for Harry's response to all the early morning well wishing; now't as yet, he's probably still asleep. Or still awake. Either way, Happy Birthday Harry, you'll always be our favourite.
