Britain’s Queen Elizabeth used a ceremonial sword to cut a cake on Saturday at an event in Cornwall on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G7) summit. Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April, 1926 – the first born child of King George VI and his wife, the Queen Mother Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.
Queen Elizabeth’s birthday parade takes place in June, as Britain has unpredictable weather. According to certain media reports, the tradition dates back to the 1700s, when George II in 1748 decided it would be too cold to have the Trooping the Colour parade on his actual birthday – in November. King George decided to combine his birthday celebration with an annual military parade, in June.
