Posting on Twitter, the Royal Family said: "Wishing Her Majesty The Queen a very Happy Birthday today!"

Prince William and Princess Kate also wished Camilla a happy birthday on the social media platform.

The couple shared a snap of Camilla sat on a garden bench holding a flower basket.

Kensington Palace tweeted: "Wishing Her Majesty a very Happy Birthday!"

Later today Camilla will travel with Charles in a carriage procession to the State Opening of Parliament.

Gun salutes will be fired in celebration of Camilla's anniversary as is the tradition.

But this year they will follow those marking the King's arrival at the Sovereign's Entrance of the Lords which signals the State Opening.

The second 41-gun salute for Camilla, also by the King's Troop Horse Artillery in Green Park, will be staged shortly after the first salvo.

Yesterday Charles and Camilla wrapped up their two-day tour of the Channel Islands.

The royal couple toured Jersey on Monday before heading to Guernsey yesterday.

Charles presented a royal title to Tamsin, an eight-year-old Golden Guernsey goat.

Tamsin's owner Joe Corr, nine, helped Charles put a bell around the her neck.

Joe told Sky News he washed Tamsin with Head & Shoulders shampoo so she looked and smelled her best for the royals.

Tamsin's rare breed will now be know around the world as Royal Golden Guernseys.

The royal title had to be signed off by the Cabinet Office before Charles could give Tamsin her bell.

During the Second World War, farmers hid Golden Guernseys indoors to stop the Channel Islands' Nazi occupiers slaughtering them.

Camilla also tried a number of Channel Island delicacies including a cheese which one local gave her as a birthday present.

She had a bandage on her right ankle and used an umbrella as a walking stick.
