NZ celebrates the Queen’s birthday because we are a part of the Commonwealth that is why we have the Union Jack on our national flag. The Queen’s actual birthday is on the 21st of April but is celebrated as a public holiday on the first Monday of June.

The Queen is 90 years old and was crowned to be Queen on the 2nd of June 1953. The Queen’s birthday is celebrated on different dates in different places in the world. For the Queen’s birthday weekend I do not know if my family and I are going anywhere to celebrate the Queen’s birthday.
