On May 15th, members of the royal family flooded into Windsor to help honour Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, at a special gala marking her 90th birthday.
The woman of the hour (or rather, year!) arrived at the event with her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh at her side, in a horse drawn carriage (as any queen should) donning a sea green dress with lace overlay and matching jacket by Angela Kelly.
Of course, all of the royals were present to celebrate, including daughter, Princess Anne, and her grandsons Harry and William, who was accompanied by wife Catherine.
The star-studded affair was a colourful display which featured 900 horses from around the globe, as well as 1,500 performers who came together in beautiful synchronisation to tell the eventful life of the beloved royal.
To mark the special occasion, Buckingham Palace even released some never before seen snaps of the 90-year-old, so look out for those as you click through the gallery and check out the night’s best moments!
