On Sunday, the royal family had double to celebrate as they stepped out to attend the Easter Sunday church service at St George's Chapel in Windsor, which coincided with the Queen's 93rd birthday. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were in attendance, as were Prince Harry, and Zara and Mike Tindall. The Queen – who is Head of the Church of England – looked lovely dressed in a vibrant outfit, and was all smiles as she made her way to the chapel. Three out of four of her children were also there, with Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew all in Windsor for the morning.

Over at Buckingham Palace meanwhile, the Band of the Irish Guards will perform a rendition of Happy Birthday in honour of her majesty. Earlier in the day, the 93-year-old was wished many happy returns by her family on social media, including the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The royal couple were praised for sending such a personal message, complete with handpicked photos of the pair with the Queen.

This is the Queen's first of two birthdays. She also has an official one on the second Saturday in June each year, which is celebrated with the Trooping of Colour parade. Gun salutes are also fired as a mark of respect to the Queen on her special day - but never on a Sunday, so this year they will be delayed by one day.
