The Queen attends an Easter service on the occasion of her 93rd birthday

The Queen attended an Easter service at Windsor Castle the day she celebrated her 93rd birthday.

She received flowers and a crowd sang "Happy Birthday" leaving St. George's Chapel.

In an Easter message, Prime Minister Theresa May said that the United Kingdom "must defend the right of everyone" to practice their faith in peace.

And Jeremy Corbyn, union leader, compared the experience of Jesus to the challenges facing some refugees today.

Members of the family, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke of Susbad, joined the Queen for Easter Sunday service.

The Duke of Edinburgh, who retired from public office, and the Duchess of Susbad, who is expecting a baby, did not attend.

But Prince Harry and Meghan have posted a joint birthday message to the Queen on Instagram, saying, "Happy Birthday, Your Majesty, Madam, Grandma."

When the queen left the chapel, two boys presented her two goblets, one yellow and the other white.

The waiting crowd sang "Happy Birthday" and applauded as they entered his car.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, used his message to say that the resurrection of Jesus showed that "injustice and oppression do not have the last word".

"The risen Jesus is the one who puts order in our broken lives," he said.

In his Easter message, the prime minister said that she would spend her time "giving thanks to the church," but for many Christians "such simple acts of faith can cause enormous danger."

It is estimated that about 245 million Christians worldwide face persecution.

Ms. May, daughter of a pastor and Christian practitioner, said, "Churches have been attacked, Christians have been murdered, families have been forced to flee their homes.

"That's why the government has launched a comprehensive review of the persecution of Christians.

"We must defend the right of everyone, regardless of religion, to practice their faith in peace."

The government review, led by the bishop of Truro, was launched in December to determine the UK's help to persecuted Christians.

In the Labor Leader's Easter message, Mr. Corbyn said that Jesus' experiences as a refugee were still "familiar to us today."

He stated that Jesus was "a refugee whose parents were forced to flee their home", who then "knew what it was like to be ostracized, rejected and tortured".

He added: "The refugee crisis is a moral test, Jesus taught us to respect refugees."

Mr. Corbyn also used his message to criticize the government for not hosting refugee children, as well as the manner in which Interior Minister Sajid Javid handled migrant pbadages in the Channel during l & # 39; winter.

"In Britain, we are proud to provide a safe haven for those in need, but this government is refusing to fulfill our legal obligations to refugee children in Europe, as required by law. Dubs amendment ".

The Dubs amendment, designed by Lord Dubs, a refugee and former refugee child, aimed to let unaccompanied migrant children into the United Kingdom – but it was not extended by the government in 2017.

The Home Office responded that the United Kingdom has provided protection to more than 34,500 children since the beginning of 2010 and that the government was "determined to keep its commitment" to relocate 480 children as part of "Dubs amendment".
