Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Her Majesty The Queen's Birthday Party: Shawn Mendes, Anne-Marie, Sting, Kylie Minogue Tom Jones Performances
A celebration concert for Her Majesty the Queen's 92nd birthday was held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on April 21, 2018, which was thrown by the BBC.
The Royal Family, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, gathered there to celebrate the Queen's 92nd birthday party.
The concert featured guest appearances from Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue, Sting & Shaggy, Shawn Mendes, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Anne-Marie, Craig David, Jamie Cullum, Donel Mangena, Laura Mvula, The Dhol Foundation and Johnny Kalsi.
After perfomances, Prince Charles took the stage alongside the Queen to say, "Your Majesty, mummy, I have a feeling that in 1948 when you were 22 you didn’t somehow expect that on your 92nd birthday to find your son in his 70th year. So, just able still to raise a small hip hip, would you ladies and gentlemen all give her Majesty three unbelievable rousing cheers on her birthday," as he raised his hand in the air.- The Queen celebrates two birthdays each year, her actual birthday on April 21 and her official birthday usually on the second Saturday in June.
Britain marked the longest-reigning monarch’s birthday with gun salutes in central London at midday today, 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. - source : Telegraph
