Just How Does the Queen Celebrate Her Birthday?

For her 70th birthday the queen celebrated at her Norfolk home Sandringham with her family. It fell on a Sunday, so in the morning she attended a service at local St. Mary's Church, and in the evening there was a black-tie dinner. The event was considerably more low key than her later, more recent landmark birthdays as the family's popularity was low following the recent divorces of Charles and Diana and Andrew and Sarah.
