April 16, 2020 - 10:52 BST Gemma Strong The Queen is set to celebrate her 94th birthday on 21 April, and in honour of the occasion there are calls for the country to come together to sing Happy Birthday to Her Majesty. In much the same way the nation claps for the NHS at 8pm every Thursday, it is hoped that the public will rally to send a message of hope and solidarity to the monarch. Among those championing the idea is Ben Fogle, who took to Twitter to spread the word.
It’s the Queens birthday next week. Iona thought we should show her how much we care by throwing her the worlds biggest birthday. At 9am on 21st April let’s all sing her Happy Birthday from our windows, balconies and doorsteps and show her how much we care #singforthequeen pic.twitter.com/d1coJGNm15The Queen cemented her place in the heart of the nation earlier this month, when she sent a rallying message to the people of Britain.
Her Majesty further paid tribute to the NHS and those"selflessly" working on the frontline during the crisis, saying:"I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times."The Queen famously has two birthday celebrations every year. She was born on 21 April 1926, but her birthday is officially marked in June.
