Queen’s 90th birthday party: Plans for royal celebrations at Windsor announced

They also added that the celebration of the Queen’s nine-decade journey “will take us from the excitement of the birth, through to World War II, her marriage, the coronation and a reign of more than 60 years”.

The royals are doing some serious advance planning for Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday: 25,000 tickets went on sale yesterday for the general public to attend the May 2016 event.

Tickets will cost between £55 and £165 for the first two evenings, increasing to between £75 and £195 on the final night. The most expensive seats are situated next to the Royal Enclosure and include access to a hospitality suite.

“Her Majesty’s 90 Birthday Party will be a celebration of The Queen’s life, her love of horses, her dedication to the Commonwealth and worldwide affairs and her deep involvement with the Navy, Army and Air Force”, reads the event’s official website.

Members of the royal family are expected to attend each day, with the birthday girl, herself, attending on Sunday, the final night.

The event will see 900 horses and 1,500 entertainers from around the world grace the four-day event, according to Forbes.

Capt Hickman said the band had yet to settle on a set list for the show but he’s confident they’ll be coming up with “something very special” to honour the monarch. We’re especially delighted with our plans to offer an extra 5,000 people the chance to be part of the celebrations through our balloted system for (pre-show) tickets on The Long Walk. Another 5,000 free tickets will be made available to watch the final show on a giant screen in Windsor.

Details of how to apply will be announced in the New Year. The Queen however turns 90 on April 21, and the events at Windsor are a nonprofit event meant to celebrate her achievements.

Celebration Producer and Director Simon Brooks-Ward said his team had worked hard to make it a unique birthday celebration.

National commemorations will centre on her official birthday weekend in June – the month she was crowned – with a huge street party in the Mall, a service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral and the traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony.
