**The Queen’s 90^(th) birthday and her patronage of over 600 charities will be celebrated
this June at special event [The Patron’s Lunch](http://www.thepatronslunch.com/).**

The not-for-profit event takes place on 12^(th) June with all proceeds going towards
a newly created Patron’s Fund, which will support charities within the UK and the
Commonwealth of which the Queen is Patron.

The event will be the largest street party the Mall in St James’s Park, London has
ever seen. 10,000 guests will be treated to a hamper-style lunch, with the Queen
joined by the Prince of Edinburgh as well as other members of the Royal Family. 
The lunch is a ticketed event, with the majority of tickets being made available
to the charities and organisations to which the Queen is Patron, as well as through
a [public ballot](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/public-ballot-registration-22170640984?ref=ebtnebregn)
for 2,000 tickets at £150 each.
