Last Updated: Thursday, July 1, 2010 | 8:43 AM ET: The Canadian Press . The Queen will bring a touch of class Thursday to Canada's annual birthday bash.
The normally informal, boisterous festivities on Parliament Hill in Ottawa are to kick off at noon with the arrival of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in a horse-drawn landau, complete with a mounted RCMP escort.
Pomp and circumstance will dominate the opening two hours of Canada's 143rd birthday, in honour of the Queen's presence.
The 84-year-old monarch has not been on the Hill for Canada Day since 1997.
With her personal Canadian flag flying from the Peace Tower, the Queen will be honoured with a 21-gun salute, a fly-past by CF-18 jetfighters and another by the aerobatic Snowbirds, as well as a march-past by the Guard of Honour.

She'll be serenaded by Canadian artists, including Quebec pop star Isabelle Boulay, bagpipers the Campbell Brothers, the Barenaked Ladies and the Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir.
She'll also be lauded by a host of luminaries, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper, actor Christopher Plummer and figure skater Joannie Rochette.
The Queen is to address Canada Day celebrants briefly just after 1 p.m. Before departing at about 1:40 p.m., the Queen will go on a walkabout to meet with some of the expected 100,000 party-goers.
