The Queen has asked that there be no gun salutes to mark her birthday as it would be "inappropriate in the current circumstances".
Buckingham Palace said the Queen did not want any special measures in place to allow gun salutes when she turns 94 on Tuesday.
Gun salutes, in which blank rounds are fired from around London, are typically used by the Royal Family to mark special occasions such as anniversaries and birthdays.
But this is believed to be the first time in the Queen's 68-year reign that there will be none on her birthday.
A Buckingham Palace source said: "Her Majesty was keen that no special measures were put in place to allow gun salutes as she did not feel it appropriate in the current circumstances."
Any phone or video calls she has with family will be kept private, they added.
