The celebrations were at Windsor where she did a walkabout and later lit a beacon.
Otherwise it was just the normal birthday celebrations with the gun salutes.
The next round of celebrations are in May - at the Royal Windsor Horse Show - again at Windsor.
The London celebrations are on the weekend of the 10-12th June:
10th June - the church service at St Paul's
11th June - Trooping the Colour
12th June - the party in the Mall
I don't think this is true, but the Norwegian expert Kjell Arne Totland who is very reliable says on Norwegian television that there will be foreign guests in june.
Very funny that when The Queen got ready to cut her cake today, she asked the baker "does it cut?" The Queen remembers how difficult it was to cut a cake a while ago. She was very happy when the knife went in with very little effort.

At the WI 100th last year? I felt so bad for whoever baked it, as when Princess Anne came to help her Mother, she had to give the knife a pretty hard slap in order for that thing to cut through the cake. I don't blame HM for asking after that happening.
What a beautiful cake it was too. Just perfect for the World's Most Famous Corgi Lover.
It looked like a perfect Spring day for the day's events and Her Majesty appeared to be enjoying herself on her very Special Birthday.
Here's hoping it's just like this in June for the Official Celebrations.
Happy Birthday Ma'am!!!

Is there a way to watch the BBC One documentary Queen at 90 outside the UK? I couldn't find it on YouTube. Thanks!
And later in the Press Conference he said:I confess I've also come back to wish Her Majesty the Queen a very happy 90th birthday. Earlier today, Michelle and I had the honor to join Her Majesty and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh as their guests at Windsor Castle, where we conveyed the good wishes of the American people.
I have to say I have never been driven by a Duke of Edinburgh before. (Laughter.) And I can report that it was very smooth riding. As for Her Majesty, the Queen has been a source of inspiration for me, like so many people around the world. She is truly one of my favorite people. And should we be fortunate enough to reach 90, may we be as vibrant as she is. She’s an astonishing person, and a real jewel to the world and not just to the United Kingdom.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-pres...-obama-and-prime-minister-cameron-joint-pressI have a staff member, who will not be named -- because it might embarrass her a little bit -- who, generally, on foreign trips, does not leave the hotel or the staff room because she’s constantly doing work making this happen. She has had one request the entire time that I have been President, and that is, could she accompany me to Windsor on the off-chance that she might get a peek at Her Majesty the Queen. And, gracious as she is, Her Majesty actually had this person, along with a couple of others, lined up so that as we emerged from lunch, they could say hello. And this staff person, who is as tough as they come, almost fainted -- (laughter) -- which was -- I’m glad she didn’t because it would have caused an incident.
During her astonishing reign of more than 60 years, the Queen has graciously accepted countless posies and bunches of flowers from her adoring subjects.
But even the most elaborate bouquets pale in comparison with the stunning 21ft floral arch of at least 10,000 pastel blooms being created to celebrate Her Majesty’s 90th birthday year.
The dazzling tribute by the Royal Horticultural Society will be seen by the Queen when she attends the gala opening of the Chelsea Flower Show on May 23.
Gary Barlow and Dame Shirley Bassey will be among the A-list talent at a "spectacular evening" of celebrations to mark the Queen's 90th birthday.
They will be joined by the likes of Kylie Minogue, James Blunt and opera singer Katherine Jenkins for the musical extravaganza, due to take place in the private grounds of Windsor Castle on 15 May.
Actress Helen Mirren, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of the Queen in 2006, will also make an appearance during the show - along with Doc Martin star Martin Clunes and Star Wars frontman John Boyega.
The televised celebration will tell the story of Her Majesty's life from her birth in 1926, taking the audience through World War Two to her coronation in 1953 - as well as her 62 years serving as monarch.
It's a Birthday Book that will become a snapshot of social history and a unique record of what the Queen means to loyal subjects and wellwishers across the world.
In a tribute to mark Her Majesty’s 90th birthday celebrations, a British company has created an online book where people can leave greetings, photographs and video clips.
Once all the entries are in, the compilation will be presented in electronic form at Buckingham Palace in July.

Ant and Dec host a spectacular event in the presence of Her Majesty The Queen.
Set in the private grounds of Windsor Castle, the best of British talent will join more than 900 horses and 1500 participants for this special celebration of the Queen’s life.

The celebration will also include rare archive footage and will tell the story of the Queen’s remarkable life from her birth in 1926 to a reign spanning more than 60 years.
Organisers of a huge party in Central London to mark the Queen's 90th Birthday in June are encouraging people across the country to hold their own street parties to coincide with the celebrations.
Thousands of people lined the streets of the nation in 2012 to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, and there is hope that similar scenes will take place during the weekend of June 12th.
