Queen Elizabeth II turns 85 on April 21, days before his grandson William marries Kate Middleton. With London decorated for the link on Thursday 29 April, the monarch has shown his good form in a religious ceremony in Westminster Abbey. The monarch attended the Maundy ceremony at the place where his grandson is getting married.
The queen came dressed in a turquoise blue coat and matching hat. After attending to the business and a brand tradition, the sovereign has red or white purses distributed to the elderly, as a way to recognize their service to the Church and community. 85 men and 85 women have received this "charity", courtesy of the Queen.
