He spoke too of the love and affection for her throughout the country and the Commonwealth.
In April 2016, Her Majesty panied by the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall - was joined by crowds of well-wishers in the shadow of Windsor Castle, to light the first of 1,000 beacons in her honour.
He could not have put it better. Drawing a laugh from the crowd by calling her "Mummy" - his affectionate introduction for the Queen during the royal celebrations Charles added "and long may she reign over us". It was a sentiment shared by all those who heard it there and live on television.
He then called for three cheers and the crowd duly obliged. With that, the prince handed the torch to the Queen and invited her to light the principal beacon on a six-metre pole at the start of the Long Walk.
After the lighting was over, Her Majesty, Prince Charles, Prince Philip and the Duchess of Cornwall were driven back to the castle for her birthday party of 60 special guests. It had been a long and joyous day for the Queen.
On the evenings of May 12-15 there was a 90-minute-long pageant in Home Park at Windsor Castle. The extravaganza included 900 horses and more than 1,500 riders and performers highlighting the Queen's love of horses, her dedication to the Commonwealth and her involvement with the Royal Navy, Army and RAF.
In June, there was a weekend of national celebration to mark the Queen's official birthday and, unofficially, the Duke of Edinburgh's 95th birthday. On June 10, a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral was held. It may have been his birthday but he did not want any public celebration of the date for himself.
On June 11, there was Trooping the Colour - the official annual celebration of the Queen's birthday with Prince George and Princess Charlotte joining the Queen and the other members of the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
