“You are a great leader for the free world; you are a great hope for the coming generations. God bless you,” he concluded.
To mark the occasion, Jewish photographer Annie Leibovitz took a series of pictures showing the Queen smiling with her family and corgis.
Board of Deputies president Jonathan Arkush joined in with the well-wishers, saying: “It gives me the greatest pleasure to convey the Jewish community’s heartfelt greetings to Her Majesty on the milestone occasion of her 90th birthday.
“She performs her role as Head of State with the utmost grace, dignity and warmth. Long may she reign in good health and strength.”
