 We, at The Republican News took our time today to celebrate the 90th birthday of the Queen Elizabeth II.
So, we took time to collect and assemble some memorable photos of her majesty and her wonderful family and some events  throughout her life from childhood to her  90 years of age. So, we wish her more healthy years ahead.
Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April, 1926, at the London home of her mother’s parents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore.

Reflecting on her 64-year reign, he said: “Her Majesty has devoted her entire life to the service of others. Representing our country and carrying out all her duties with extraordinary grace and humility.

“Rarely has anyone in public life served so long, served so brilliantly, worked so hard and brought so many people together.

“And in this modern Elizabethan era in which so much around her has changed, Her Majesty has been steadfast, a rock of strength for our nation, for our Commonwealth and on so many occasions, for the whole world.”

A tribute from the Prime Minister of Britain Mr David Cameron
