WINDSOR REPORT

Celebrating Her Majesty the Queen’s 90th Birthday Pictures by Julie Priestley, Kit Houghton and Fiona Rafferty

E

ach evening after the Royal Windsor Horse Show had finished there was a wonderful celebration in the Castle Arena to celebrate Her Majesty’s 90th Birthday. Over 90 minutes, 900 horses and more than 1,500 participants from around the United Kingdom and the World created a fantastic Birthday Party for The Queen. With the aid of archive footage the story told from the excitement of her birth, through to World War Two, her marriage, the Coronation and a reign of more than 60 years.

The Party was a celebration of The Queen’s life, her love of horses, her dedication to the Commonwealth and international affairs and her deep involvement with the Navy, Army and Air Force.

On Sunday evening the Queen was joined by all her immediate family as she watched the amazing show, which also featured her own children and grandchildren.
