Queen Elizabeth II turns 90 on April 21, with a lot of celebratory engagements lined up between April to June.
Queen Elizabeth II born on April 21, 1926, celebrates her 90th birthday next week. The British Monarchy Website says that the Queen will celebrate this day at Windsor along with the royal family.
The Queen’s birthday celebration is the highlight of 2016 with events taking place in April, May and June. Some of these events are open for public participation – some free and some via tickets.
The Queen celebrates her birthday twice in a year - actual birthday on April 21, and the official celebration in June, usually the second Saturday of the month.
The official celebrations are to mark the Sovereigns' birthday and are held on a day other than the actual birthday which is not in the summer. The official celebration is marked by the Birthday Parade which is also known as Trooping the Colour.
