Queen Elizabeth II turns 85
April 23rd 2011 14:34
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II leaves Westminster Abbey in central London following the Royal Maundy Service on April 21, 2011. Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 85th birthday by visiting London's Westminster Abbey, days before her grandson Prince William is married there. The monarch was to attend the Royal Maundy service, an Easter tradition whereby the sovereign gives out specially-minted silver coins to the elderly.
By tradition, the queen's birthday is officially celebrated in June, in hopes of better weather.
