Queen Elizabeth II , 95, expressed her "deep sorrow" following the death of her husband of 73 years Prince Philip in April. The Duke of Edinburgh died just months before he was due to celebrate his 100th birthday on June 10. Last week the Queen was gifted a special rose to plant at Windsor Castle to commemorate what would have been the Duke's centenary but she is likely to spend Thursday in private. To mark the late Duke's birthday, the Royal Family shared a new series of photos of the Queen as she was given the Duke of Edinburgh commemorative rose. The pictures were accompanied by a tweet that read: "Last week, The Queen was given a Duke of Edinburgh rose to mark what would have been The Duke's 100th birthday. "The rose was gifted by @The_RHS, of which The Queen is Patron. "Named in The Duke's memory, the rose is planted in the East Terrace Garden, Windsor Castle."
