The Princess of Wales signed the accompanying message: "Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much!"

Despite her understandable absence, Princess Catherine issued an apology for missing the Trooping the Colour rehearsal on June 8.
In a letter to the Irish Guards, where she serves as honorary Colonel, the Princess wrote: "I wanted to write and let you know how proud I am of the entire Regiment ahead of the Colonel’s Review and Trooping the Colour.
"I appreciate everyone trooping this year has been practicing for months, and dedicating many hours to ensuring their uniforms and drills are immaculate. Please pass my apologies to the whole Regiment, however, I do hope that I am able to represent you all once again very soon.
"Please send my very best wishes and good luck to all involved," she continued, signing off as "Colonel Catherine."
