9 decades of Queen Elizabeth II (and her lovely companions), 2016
The year 2016 was special for Elizabeth II because she turned 90 years old. To immortalize the occasion, she held a photo session at Windsor Castle. In this image, the queen appears with 4 of her puppies: Willow, Vulcan, Candy, and Holly. In the United Kingdom, Her Majesty commemorates 2 birthdays a year: one according to her date of birth (April 21) and another official one, which is regularly celebrated in June with various events for the public and a traditional military parade in her honor.
