Visitors to Temple Square on August 21 had a lot to celebrate as President Thomas S. Monson's 90th birthday coincided with an eclipse passing over the United States.
Pretty cool that President Monson chose to blow out the sun instead of candles. #SolarEclipse2017 #LDS https://t.co/00PBl08xUu

Hundreds gathered on the east side of Temple Square to offer the prophet a round of "Happy Birthday," and, according to Al Fox Carraway, President Monson looked out of his apartment window and waved to the singers below.
