- Queen Elizabeth has two birthdays— her real one on April 21, and an "official" one in June.
- Her real birthday is celebrated with gun salutes and a walkabout.
- Her official birthday is marked with the Trooping of the Colour parade.
Queen Elizabeth turned 92 this year — but the celebrations aren't over yet.
The queen has two birthdays. April 21 is the day she was actually born, but her "official" birthday is pushed off to June in the hope of catching good weather for a massive parade. Both days are a big deal across the Commonwealth.
Here's how England celebrates the queen's birthday.
Queen Elizabeth usually celebrates her April 21 birthday privately, but she has been known to do birthday walkabouts.
Even into her 90s, Queen Elizabeth walks among large crowds and engages with members of the public.
The queen's actual April birthday is marked with gun salutes in central London.
On the queen's actual birthday, there are several gun salutes across central London: a 41 gun salute in Hyde Park, a 21 gun salute in Windsor Great Park, and a 62 gun salute at the Tower of London.
According to the royal family's official website, gun salutes are given "as a sign of respect or welcome upon various important royal occasions." They're carried out by a ceremonial army unit called The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
Businesses also pay homage to the queen on her birthday.
This Burger King restaurant at Tottenham Court Road changed its name to "Burger Queen" for the queen's 90th birthday in 2016.
