The Queen's official 90th birthday celebrations are well under way today with the Trooping the Colour parade in central London. 1,600 soldiers and 300 horses are participating in the annual event on Horse Guards Parade which is being celebrated by thousands of excited spectators.
Among those riding include Princess Anne, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and his father Prince Charles. They rode behind the Queen, dressed in a neon green two-piece suit, sitting alongside her husband Prince Philip.

The crowds were out in force, thrilled to be a part of the celebrations to mark the Queen's 90th birthday. The military event began at 10am, with an RAF fly-past due to happen at 1pm. Many are hoping Prince George and Princess Charlotte will join the royal party on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch.
A flotilla of boats will then proceed down the River Thames, lead by royal rowbarge Gloriana where Sir Steve Redgrave will be one of the oarsmen, alongside Paralympians and ex-servicemen.
Tomorrow will see 10,000 guests attend a street party along The Mall to enjoy a wicker hamper picnic provided by Marks & Spencer, and to watch a carnival-style parade.
Let's hope the sun shines!
