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.
