Queen Elizabeth II has marked her ceremonial birthday with the colorful "Trooping the Color" parade in the heart of London.
She was joined by senior royals including the Duchess of Cambridge, who made her first appearance in public since leaving the hospital with newborn Princess Charlotte six weeks ago.
Prince Charles, Prince William and Princess Anne were on horseback for the annual ceremony.
The queen turned 89 on April 21, her actual birth date, which is traditionally marked in private, with a public celebration in June.
Throngs gathered outside Buckingham Palace to view the festivities and to see the royals gathered on the palace balcony.
There was no sign of Princess Charlotte but some onlookers saw young Prince George enjoying the parade from his vantage point inside the palace. (dmr)(+++)
