Ant and Dec will host the programme, featuring more than 1500 performers from singers Katherine Jenkins and Dame Shirley Bassey, to actors Imelda Staunton and Dame Helen Mirren. It will screen on British television on Sunday.
The show will cover the Queen's early years, teenage life, World War II and Coronation to the present day.
Her love of horses will be represented, with more than 900 of the animals set to take part in the celebration.
