Queen plans huge 90th birthday bash

Queen Elizabeth will celebrate her upcoming 90th birthday by throwing a huge street party in London for 10,000 guests.

The monarch hits the milestone on April 21, 2016, but her birthday will be officially celebrated in June that year with a lavish bash on the streets of the British capital for her family, including Princes William and Harry, charity workers and members of the public.

The event is to be organised by the Queen’s grandson, Peter Phillips, and he hopes the big bash will inspire Brits to host their own street parties across the country.

“We are aiming to inspire as many people as we can to host street parties of their own for the direct benefit of their community,” he said.

Other events taking place to mark the Queen’s big day include a special service at St Paul’s Cathedral and the annual Trooping the Colour parade.
