The Queen celebrates two birthdays - her actual birthday in April and her official birthday in June

12 June 2016

As a charity that holds Her Majesty The Queen’s patronage, we are part of an extraordinary and unique family, a group that has benefited and seen first-hand the unrelenting support and service our Monarch has given over her 63 year reign.
The occasion of her 90th Birthday provides a fitting opportunity to celebrate a lifetime dedicated to service having acted as Patron to over 600 organisations across the UK and the Commonwealth. On Sunday 12th June 2016 The Mall was home to a truly magnificent event,  The Patron’s Lunch; a classic British ‘street party’ lunch (hamper style) for 10,000 guests, the first of its kind to ever be held on the Mall. This event  provided a very special opportunity for all who have been touched by Her Majesty The Queen to publicly thank her.
​The FBS was invited to be part of this extraordinary event.
