Queen Elizabeth II of Britain
would be celebrating her 90th birthday today, Thursday April 21, 2016;
making her the first British monarch to achieve this feat.
Last year, the Queen became
Britain’s longest serving monarch and today, she has added another milestone as
the nation’s first sovereign to celebrate her 90th birthday.
She plans to mark the day with a
walkabout near her main residence in Windsor, West of London before lighting a
beacon relay in the evening.
The birthday proper is scheduled
to be celebrated later in the summer. Formal celebrations
will be held to mark
her “official birthday” culminating with a national service of Thanksgiving at
St. Paul’s Cathedral and a big picnic outside Buckingham Palace for 10,000
guests.This image of four generations of royals will be on special stamps issued to mark the Queen’s life.
