Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away at Balmoral yesterday afternoon, following an incredible 70-year reign. A well loved tradition for many is receiving a card from the royal on their 100th birthday.

She celebrated with a cake, flowers, and a visit from a piper and Highland dancers.

"She had a huge smile on her face all day."
