Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II will today, April 21st celebrate her 91st birthday, with the world’s longest-reigning monarch, who became queen in 1952 at 25, taking a step back from royal duties to allow the younger generation to step forward.
A gun salute at London’s Tower Bridge and at Hyde Park will mark the Queen’s birthday, a notably more low-key affair after a year of festivities to mark her hitting 90.
