The queen slowly walked down the stairs with a group of officials from the British Empire following her down.
When she walked over, some delegates of other countries in Europe came forward to greet them.
With the company of many princes and princesses, the queen greeted the guests one after another. She was pretty old now, and she was still very friendly towards all.
She smiled and thanked all the distinguished guests, "I'm very grateful to everyone for coming to attend my 88th birthday. Every one of you all are familiar faces, let's all relax and enjoy the evening."
Then, with the help of someone by her arm, she went to the sofa and began chatting with some of the government officials.
There were plenty of booze and snacks tonight, and many people came with gifts. They all went to the sofa and greeted the queen before they handed up their gifts, and the old lady was very happy.
