Just How Does the Queen Celebrate Her Birthday?

On the occasion of her 80th birthday it was revealed that the queen had received over 20,000 cards and 17,000 emails. She went for a walkabout through Windsor, and in the evening attended a black tie dinner of smoked salmon, venison and chocolate cake in Kew Palace, that was hosted by Prince Charles and attended by her family. They were later all photographed outside, enjoying a special fireworks display.
