The Queen will celebrate her 2022 birthday at her Norfolk estate where she enjoyed family gatherings with the Duke of Edinburgh.
The monarch is expected to fly by helicopter from Windsor Castle to her Sandringham home and is likely to be visited by family and friends in the coming days.
It is thought the monarch will stay at the Duke of Edinburgh's cottage Wood Farm – a property she said her late husband "loved" and part of its attraction was because the "sea was so close".
Over the years, she has paid many visits to Sheffield since coming to the throne.
More recently these have included the Royal Maundy service at Sheffield Cathedral in 2015 and touring the AMRC where she donned 3D glasses in 2010.
Other tours of South Yorkshire and Derbyshire have included visits to Doncaster and Barnsley, and the opening of Chesterfield Royal Hospital in 1985.

1. The Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, attend a service at Sheffield Cathedral today Thursday April 2nd. The Queen will hand out the traditional Maundy money. Every year at Easter, Her Majesty The Queen presents special ‘Maundy money’ to local pensioners in a UK cathedral or abbey. Today's recipients of Royal Maundy, as many elderly men and women as there are years in the sovereign's age, are chosen because of the Christian service they have given to the Church and community. At the ceremony which takes place annually on Maundy Thursday, the sovereign hands to each recipient two small leather string purses. One, a red purse, contains - in ordinary coinage - money in lieu of food and clothing; the other, a white purse, contains silver Maundy coins consisting of the same number of pence as the years of the sovereign's age.
