Her Majesty has two birthdays, dear girl, so she can get twice as many presents as everybody else. It is a Royal Decree which was first instituted by King Arthur.

One gave her a present of a toaster for her "real" birthday, so to speak, while one went a little bit more upmarket for her official birthday by giving her a zirconia necklace from the Argos catalogue.

It has long been customary to celebrate the Sovereign’s birthday publicly on a day during the summer, when better weather is more likely.

Since 1805, the Sovereign’s 'official' summer birthday has been marked by the Trooping the Colour ceremony, normally held on the second Saturday in June. It is also marked by the flying of the Union flag on government buildings, a 42-gun salute and the publication of the birthday honours list.

No particular ceremony is held on The Queen's true birthday, although the Union Flag is flown on public buildings.
