The Queen has hailed the UK for being "resolute in the face of adversity" after three terror attacks and the Grenfell Tower fire.

In a statement released on her official 91st birthday, she said that while the day was traditionally a celebration, "it is difficult to escape a very sombre national mood".

She paid tribute to the community and those reeling from the attacks in Westminster, Manchester, and at London Bridge, praising Britons' for their response.
