Her majesty, accompanied by members of the royal family, were all out in those bright dresses and uniforms for the birthday festivities on Horse Guards Parade, at which the Colour of the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards were trooped. But because she’s the Queen, she has two birthdays, including today’s public celebration aired live on the telly. For more than 250 years, the sovereign has celebrated his or her birthday alongside the military parade. The royal family tweeted — and then quickly deleted — a picture of Elizabeth greeting various leaders during D-Day commemorations, including the German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Prince Andrew, Prince William, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry were spotted at various events as well.
