On her actual birthday – the 21st of April, her royal highness will attend two official engagements with her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip.
Queen Elizabeth II will meet with both locals and well-wishers as she engages in a walkabout through the town, after she unveils a commemorative plaque marking The Queen’s Walkway at the base of Castle Hill.
The Queen’s Walkway is a promenade that spans over 6.3 kilometres in length. It connects 63 points of significance in the town of Windsor, and was designed to symbolically represent her majesty as Britain’s longest reigning monarch after over 63 years.
Insiders say Her Majesty is excited for the upcoming celebrations.
Celebrating an incredible 90 years! From her April birth in 1926 to her 1953 coronation, and a reign of over 63 years.
Following the setting sun, her majesty will be joined by Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall for a beacon lighting ceremony.
She will kick off the festival of light by illuminating the first beacon, and following that a further 1,000 will be lit across the Britain and the world, including at the summit of Ben Nevis, which is the UK’s highest peak .
A beacon will be lit at the mountain peak of Ben Nevis in Argyllshire, the Highlands of Scotland.
Seemingly, the rest of the UK will cheers to her milestone birthday from the comfort of quaint pubs across the country.
As last month, British Prime Minister David Cameron announced that all pubs in London will be staying open an extra two hours past the usual 11:00pm closing time in honour of the celebration.

The Royal Mint has also paid tribute to the monarch by the means of a stunning, commemorative £5 coin.
The collectable piece comes in a range of materials including silver, gold and platinum gold.
Prices range from £20 or $37.50 AUD, up to a whopping £5,000 or $9,375 AUD for the rare platinum edition. But don’t worry, if you happen to be also turning 90 on April 21, you can nab yours for free!
Engraved into the design of the commemorative coin is the large number 90 surrounded by a garland of 9 individually designed roses, with each flower symbolising a decade passed.
The design includes a wreath of laurel leaves with, four points to symbolise England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The coins artist and sculptor, Christopher Hobbs, told the Daily Mail: “I wanted it to be a simple design which had the feel of continuity – after all, the Queen has reigned for 63 years.”
Three months were spent designing the coin before it was submitted for approval from the Queen herself.
Lavish celebrations for the massive milestone will also be carried out over a weekend in June.
