Queen Elizabeth marks 94th birthday

-

LONDON—THE United Kingdom marked Queen Elizabeth II’S 94th birthday with silence on Tuesday. With thousands dead amid the COVID-19 outbreak, the monarch decided that the celebrator­y display of military firepower would not be appropriat­e. Instead, the royal family took to social media to share images of Elizabeth as she marked the occasion but there were no visits. The royal household also shared private family footage of the monarch as a young princess. The Royal Collection Trust archive film showed Elizabeth playing on a seesaw and in a garden with her sister, the late Princess Margaret.
