(Facundo Arrizabalaga/European Pressphoto Agency)LONDON — Was this the most British picnic ever? Marking Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday, thousands gathered outside Buckingham Palace on Sunday for a giant street party that included a hamper-style picnic, cups of tea for anyone willing to queue, and rainy weather. Later, members of the royal family gathered on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, left, and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, center, leave Buckingham Palace during the Trooping of the Color in honor of her 90th birthday on Saturday. The queen seemed to make a joke about celebration fatigue when she addressed the throngs of well-wishers on Sunday afternoon.
