More than 7,500 East Anglian school children are sending birthday messages to the Queen. We will be publishing them in three days of special supplements next week, in the run-up to the monarch's 90th birthday.
The supplements will be published in the EDP of Monday, April 18; Tuesday, April 19 and Wednesday, April 20.
The EDP of Thursday, April 21, will include 90 Glorious Years - a 40-page supplement about the Queen's life and her links with Norfolk on the day she becomes our longest-reigning monarch.
On Friday, April 22, we will be reporting on celebrations across the region for the Queen's birthday.
Are you organising a beacon lighting or event? Do you or a friend or family member share the same birthday as the Queen - April 21, 1926? E-mail hmq90@archant.co.uk.
