Queen's 90th birthday: St Paul's service marks Queen's 'faithful devotion'

A national service of thanksgiving to mark the Queen's 90th birthday at St Paul's Cathedral has paid tribute to her "faithful devotion" to the country.
Dean of St Paul's David Ison thanked the Queen for her "gentle constancy, royal dignity and kindly humanity". Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said the Queen had reigned through "war and hardship, turmoil and change". The service was attended by Royal Family members, including the Duke of Edinburgh - on his own 95th birthday.
