The queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II will celebrate her 92nd official birthday tomorrow even though the queen turned 92 on April 21 which was her actual birthday.

Every year, the queen&nbspcelebrates her birthday twice a year one is her actual birthday which is April 21 and one is her official birthday which is celebrated on every second Saturday of June.

This year the United Kingdom will mark her 92 birthday on&nbspJune 9 with Trooping the Colour parade.

The traditional parade of soldiers in ceremonial uniform in central London takes place in June every year. It usually ends with a fly-past over Buckingham Palace. Her June birthday celebrations, two months after the queen's actual birthday, are to keep with the tradition of ensuring celebrations are in the summer.

The tradition of monarch celebrating their birthdays twice in a year is going on since 1748 when King George II celebrated his birthday in June as his real birthday comes in November and due to the cold weather in that month the traditional parade can't happen.

The date of the celebration varies every year as adopted by each country. However it is &nbspgenerally set around the end of May or start of June, to coincide with a higher probability of fine weather for outdoor ceremonies, rather than with the monarch's actual birthday

The queen, however, on her actual 92nd birthday in April, &nbspbroke with tradition and publicly celebrated with a special televised concert. Singers Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue, Sting and Shaggy were among those who entertained Elizabeth and other British royals at the concert, known as "The Queen's Birthday Party" at London's Albert Hall.

Elizabeth was born on April 21, 1926, in Bruton Street in central London and became queen in 1952 at the age 25, meaning she has now reigned for more than 66 years.
