LONDON -- Now you can tell everyone on your Facebook exactly how you're celebrating Her Majesty's 90th birthday. You are celebrating, right?

In honour of Queen Elizabeth's birthday on Thursday, Facebook has added some more options to its status field in the UK.

In your Update Status field, click the smiley face icon for "Add what you're doing or how you're feeling," then click "Celebrating" to see the options.

Testing it out in the UK, I got options for Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday and the Queen's birthday, while a colleague in Croatia only received "the Queen's birthday" option.
