Queen Elizabeth is off to the races on her birthday!
The monarch, who turns 91 Friday, stepped out for a day at the races to celebrate her birthday. Accompanied by her daughter, Princess Anne, and her racing adviser, John Warren, the Queen attended the Dubai duty-free spring trials meeting at Newbury Racecourse in Newbury, England, about 60 miles outside of London.
And she looked pretty happy to be there!
Wearing a checked pink coat and a matching pink hat, the Queen was all smiles as she watched the competition from the stands. Later on, she ventured onto the field to chat with some of the jockeys.

Ever since The Family viewers spied Adam Warren watching old home movies on a loop, attempting to perfect the way his young self said, “I want a big piece! I want the frosting!” there has clearly been something a little off about the Warrens’ long-lost son.
Fortunately for the home audience, series creator Jenna Bans is hyper-aware of how many mysteries the ABC drama has introduced in just four installments — and she promises that Sunday’s episode (9/8c) will answer the major, lingering question of Adam’s identity.

On Tuesday's episode of Finding Your Roots, "In Search of Freedom," Henry Louis Gates Jr. goes into the ancestral lineages of three black celebrities: Keenan Ivory Wayans, Shonda Rhimes, and Maya Rudolph. Rudolph is notably the daughter of a show-business union between black singer-songwriter Minnie Riperton and white producer-composer Richard Rudolph. "I have this thing where I just feel I can be anyone," she says on the episode. "I think being mixed, too, I kind of, sort of grew up feeling a little orphaned by the idea of my heritage."
