Happy 83rd birthday your Majesty
THE QUEEN celebrated her 83rd birthday yesterday – but she didn’t take the day off.
Aides said she did a normal day’s work going through the boxes of official papers she receives as head of state.
“As always, the Queen will be working,” said one aide. He said she had nothing special planned and no public engagements.
The Queen spent the day with Prince Philip, 87, at Windsor Castle.
Across Britain, Union flags were flown on Government buildings from 8am to sunset to mark her big day.
