The Queen is celebrating her 91st birthday but she can't prove her age on her passport.
Artillery gun salutes in Hyde Park and at the Tower of London will be the only formal ceremony to mark her birthday.
Yet, in June, the queen will also celebrate her birthday all over again.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth celebrates her 91st birthday on Friday, April 21, 2017. She became Britain's longest-reigning monarch, passing her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria's record, in September 2015 and with the death of 88-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand last year, the Queen is now also the world's longest reigning living monarch.
In October 2016, she became the longest now reigning monarch and head of state following the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. At the time of her birth, her father Albert was second in line for the throne after his older brother Edward, and Elizabeth was third.
April 21 marks the Queen's birthday - well, one of them.
She has been Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand since 6 February 1952.

William replied laughing: "It's quite hard to know what to give the Queen for her 91st birthday that she hasn't already got".
While he has earned a reputation for gaffes and tasteless jokes, she hails him as "my strength and stay all these years".
The current heir to the throne is born at Buckingham Palace on the evening of 14 November.
