A 41-gun royal salute will take place in central London to
mark the occasion. The queen's office released a 2014 portrait
showing her wearing a suite of sapphire jewelry she received
from King George VI as a wedding gift in 1947.
The Queen, 90, has cut back on international tours but still
regularly performs official duties around Britain. In December
she said she would reduce the number of her patronages, passing
on her role at dozens of charities, academic institutions and
sporting groups to other members of the royal family.
She will spend the day at her residence in Sandringham, eastern
England, as is usual, her office said.
