A Look Back At HM The Queen's 90th Birthday Celebrations
Her Majesty the Queen marked her official birthday over the weekend.
The military played a large part in the celebrations that took place in London.
Personnel from all Three Services took part in events marking the Queen's 90th birthday.
On Saturday it started with the Queen's official birthday parade, the Coldstream Guards Trooping the Colour.
Her Majesty The Queen was joined by other members of the Royal Family for the event on Horse Guards Parade, which featured over 1,400 soldiers from the Household Division.
Following the parade, the Queen and the Royal Family gathered on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for an RAF flypast.
31 combat, transport and surveillance aircraft passed over the palace, finishing with a majestic flypast from the Red Arrows.
On Sunday the celebrations continued as almost 200 military personnel, all from units with a special relationship to the Queen, paraded down the mall and around St. James’ park for the Patron's Lunch.
The music was provided by the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Portsmouth, and the Band of the Queen's Division and the Band of the Royal Corps of Signals.
