As is annual custom, the official birthday of the queen kicked off with Trooping the Colour.

Friday’s main event was the Service of Thanksgiving, in the morning at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Many more events are scheduled through Sunday to mark 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. She celebrated Silver, Gold and Diamond Jubilees in 1977, 2002 and 2012, marking 25, 50 and 60 years on the throne. Jubilees are commemorated with military displays, a church service and street parties.
