Birthday celebrations for Queen Elizabeth's 94th birthday cancelled as Great Britain is dealing with coronavirus pandemic
Britain's record-breaking Queen Elizabeth turns 94 on Tuesday but the coronavirus lockdown means there will be little fanfare to mark the occasion.
Royal birthdays and anniversaries are traditionally marked by ceremonial gun salutes, in which blank rounds are fired from various locations across London, but the queen felt it would be inappropriate to allow this to go ahead given the circumstances. Flags are usually flown on government buildings to mark the queen's birthday but officials have been told that this year not everyone would be expected to arrange for that to happen.
From there, she has issued a number of rallying messages to the nation, including only the fifth televised address of her 68-year reign.
