In this photo released by Royal Windsor Horse Show on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, and taken in March 2022, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II poses for a photo with her Fell ponies Bybeck Nightingale, right, and Bybeck Katie on the grounds of Windsor Castle in Windsor. Queen Elizabeth II is marking her 96th birthday privately on Thursday, retreating to the Sandringham estate in eastern England that has offered the monarch and her late husband, Prince Philip, a refuge from the affairs of state.

Queen Elizabeth II marked her 96th birthday Thursday at her Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England, in a celebration that coincided with her 70th year on the British throne and Platinum Jubilee in June.

A photograph of the queen standing between two fell ponies named Bybeck Nightingale and Bybeck Katie, taken at Windsor Castle last month, was released on Twitter by the royal family in honor of the momentous occasion.
