LONDON -- To pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on her 90th birthday, Twitter has broken out some balloons.

Damn colourful ones, at that.

All you need to do to see them is head over the the official @BritishMonarchy account and wait for the celebrations to begin.

UPDATE: April 21, 2016, 1:01 p.m. BST You can have an equally colourful birthday by going into the settings of your Twitter account and adding your own DOB. This feature has been around for a while now -- we're guessing Twitter told the British Monarchy about it so they could add it in time for Her Majesty's 90th.

Bonus: Can you find Queen Elizabeth in this sea of corgis?
