It is the Queen's Official Birthday today. So Queen Elizabeth II celebrates not one, but two birthdays : her real birthday on April 21st and an Official Birthday in June.

Queen-Elizabeth-II

 

It is celebrated in June because the weather is often nice in spring. On that day the British sovereign attends a birthday parade called "Trooping the Colour" when she inspects the troops in London.
