Members of the British royal family attended a special service of thanksgiving in Windsor Sunday in honor of Queen Elizabeth's 80th birthday.

One of the highlights of the weekend birthday celebration is a display of vintage cars at Buckingham Palace, all of which were built in Great Britain, the BBC reported.

Ranging from the 1920's when the queen was born to the current year, the oldest entry at the motoring exhibit was a Bullnose Morris Oxford Tourer representing 1926.

Ex-racing driver Sir Stirling Moss arrived in a Jaguar D-type, according to the BBC.

Others in the display included a McLaren F1, a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, a Daimler VDP and even a Ford Escort.
