President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on Friday gave Queen Elizabeth a gift to celebrate her 90th birthday.

The Obamas presented the queen with a custom photo album depicting her visits with U.S. presidents and first ladies, the White House said.

“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning monarch in British history,” the White House said in a statement. “The collection of historical photos in the album highlights the enduring close ‎friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom.”

The first couple lunched with the queen and Prince Philip at Windsor Castle during what could be Obama’s last visit to Great Britain as president.

The president’s six-day, three-nation trip also includes stops at Saudi Arabia and Germany.

Obama is also meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron and having dinner with Prince William and Dutchess Kate Middleton.

Queen Elizabeth’s first visit to the United States came in 1951, when she met with then-President Harry Truman. She turned 90 on Thursday.
