QE II turns 90

Her Majesty has turned 90. Many good photos of her but this one is my favourite. Those pictured from left to right are:

  • James, Viscount Severn, 8 (10th in line to the throne)
  • Lady Louise Windsor, 12, (11th)
  • Mia Tindall (holding the Queen’s handbag), 2 (17th)
  • Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, 11 months (4th)
  • Savannah Phillips, 5 (14th)
  • Prince George of Cambridge, 2 (3rd)
  • Isla Phillips, 3, (15th)

The Queen is by far the oldest living British Monarch. Victoria and George III both made 81, then Edward VIII made 77 and George II 76.
