Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her 90th birthday on Thursday, marking a milestone that is expected to draw hundreds of well-wishers to the streets near Windsor Castle in honor of Britain’s longest serving monarch.
While the queen usually doesn’t make a fuss about her birthday, preferring to spend the day privately, she is planning to start the day by greeting the crowds in the town, accompanied by her husband Prince Philip.
Later she is expected to unveil a plaque marking a self-guided walking trail near the castle, about 20 miles west of London. In the evening, she will light the first of more than a thousand torches and bonfires that will burn across the country in honor of the monarch who has ruled Britain for 64 years.
British newspapers heralded the day with headlines such as “Happy birthday great granny” and “How the queen saved the royal family.”. A lot of Birthday messages have been posted on Twitter on behalf of the Queen.
