Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her 93rd birthday, which this year coincides with Easter Sunday.
The queen is marking Easter by attending a service with other senior royals at St. George's Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle, west of London.
She was joined by Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry, whose wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is expecting their first child in the coming weeks and did not attend.

Her 97-year-old husband, Prince Philip, has retired from public duties and did not attend the service.
The Duke of Sussex has joined The Queen and members of The Royal Family at Windsor Castle for the traditional Easter Sunday church service.
Prince Harry, who now lives in the grounds of Windsor Castle, attended the service without his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, as she is due to give birth any day now.
The Duke arrived at Church alongside his cousin, Zara Tindall, and her husband, Mike.
As each member of The Royal Family lined up outside of the castle to await the arrival of The Queen, Harry stood between Zara Tindall and Autumn Phillips, before exchanging words with the Duchess of Cambridge.
This year’s Easter festivities are particularly special as Her Majesty is also celebrating her 93rd birthday.
Dressed in matching teal coat and hat, the 93-year-old Monarch greeted members of her family outside of the church before walking inside for the start of the service.
Amongst the first royals to arrive at church were The Princess Royal and Sir Tim Laurence. They were followed by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Wessex and the Duke of York & Princess Beatrice.
Celebrations are taking place across the country over the next couple of days to mark The Queen’s 93rd birthday.
At Buckingham Palace, the Band of the Irish Guards will perform a rendition of Happy Birthday during the Changing of the Guard ceremony.
Gun Salutes never take place on a Sunday. As such, the mark of respect has been postponed by a day.
On Monday, the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery will stage a 41 Gun Royal Salute at noon in Hyde Park.
A further 62-gun salute will also be performed by the Honourable Artillery Company at the Tower of London at 1pm.
Members of the royal family are stepping out for an Easter Sunday service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Kate Middleton and Prince William both looked to be in great spirits as they arrived at Windsor Castle together. For the celebration, which also doubles as Queen Elizabeth's 93rd birthday, Kate wore a baby blue coat, with a matching dress underneath, and accessorized the look with a hat and nude heels.
The couple's children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—weren't in attendance.

Felicity Huffman's remorse, lack of criminal history and the relatively lower amount she bribed a Harvard graduate could help her avoid jail time in the college admissions scandal, according to a report. She was also one of the first parents ensnared in the scandal to announce she would plead guilty.
Huffman allegedly paid a Harvard graduate $15,000 to correct her daughter’s SAT, giving her a 400-point boost from an earlier test. Some of the parents charged in the scandal allegedly paid as much as $500,000 to get their kids into elite schools, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Under 2019 federal sentencing guidelines, Huffman could face four to 10 months, a defense attorney told the Times. Since her recommended sentence is on the lower end, she could end up serving her sentence at home while wearing an ankle monitor.
She will also likely have one year of probation, her daughter’s test score will be adjusted and she will reportedly have to forfeit the $15,000 and pay a $20,000 fine, USA Today reported.

"I am in full acceptance of my guilt, and with deep regret and shame over what I have done, I accept full responsibility for my actions and will accept the consequences that stem from those actions," Huffman said in a statement obtained by Fox earlier this month.
Huffman is reportedly due back in court on May 21.
