The late monarch, who reigned for more than 70 years, was remembered on social media throughout the day.

Elizabeth’s former daughter-in-law, Sarah Ferguson, posted a tribute on Instagram.

“Today we are remembering Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on what would have been her 97th (sic) birthday,” the Duchess of York, 64, wrote alongside a photo of the former queen. “Thank you for all that you have taught us, for being a steadfast leader and dear friend. You are sorely missed.”

The official Instagram account for Westminister Abbey, which was the location for Elizabeth’s coronation in 1952 and her funeral, also marked the day.

“Remembering Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who was born #onthisday in 1926,” read a statement on Instagram. “The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God.”

Ascot Racecourse, which hosts the famous Royal Ascot, also commemorated the queen’s posthumous birthday by posting a video of the avid horsewoman cheering her horse to victory in the 2013 Gold Cup.

“Today, in honour of what would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday, we look back with delight on Estimate’s captivating Gold Cup win at #RoyalAscot. Pure jubilation,” the post read on X.
