Legoland threw the Queen a birthday party made entirely from Lego
LONDON -- The Queen is without a doubt the nation's favourite 90 year old. So much so that we just can't stop throwing her birthday parties.
Last month, a four-day bash complete with over 550 horses and 1,200 performers was hosted at Windsor Castle in celebration of Her Majesty's big birthday.
And, this coming weekend, the official Patron's Lunch -- a giant street party for 10,000 guests -- will take place on The Mall, beside Buckingham Palace.

The folks at Legoland Windsor decided to throw Her Royal Highness a miniature street party made entirely of Lego, complete with a mini version of the Royal Family and the Queen's corgis.
The tiny street party took Legoland's model making team 650 hours to build, and it took some 30,000 bricks to finish the epic creation. It took 520 bricks alone to create the mini Royal Family.
The party took place in front of an eerily realistic recreation of Buckingham Palace, built using 35,000 Lego bricks.
At the Royal Lego picnic table were Prince Charles, The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Harry and Princesses Anne, Beatrice and Eugenie, not to mention the Queen's corgis.
The Lego Queen wore a tiny crown encrusted with 48 real diamonds, and the female members of Royal Lego family wore hats made by the Queen's milliner.
And, of course, it wouldn't be a Royal birthday party without Union Flags, bunting, rows of picnic tables full of mini champagne bottles and hampers - all of which abound at the Lego shindig.
Although the Queen is expecting 10,000 guests IRL, only 600 Lego guests showed up. Perhaps 10,000 Lego figures were a bit of a stretch?
If you didn't bag yourself an invite to the Queen's official street party then fret not. The Lego version will be on display at Legoland Windsor until November.
