For her pre-birthday turn up engagements in Windsor, the queen was radiant in her fuchsia pink coat and floral dress. She completed the outfit with pearl jewellery, a floral accented fuchsia hat, a floral brooch, comfortable black shoes and a black bag to go with it.

She made her rounds, greeting her well wishers and school children, receiving gifts.
