Buckingham Palace has released a never-before-seen portrait of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II smiling on the night before the nation is set to say their final farewell to her
An unseen portrait of the Queen smiling with joy has been released by Buckingham Palace on the eve of her funeral.
The Queen, who is dressed in a dusky dove blue dress with her hair neatly curled, is wearing her favourite three-strand pearl necklace, pearl earrings and her aquamarine and diamond clip brooches which were an 18th birthday present from her father George VI in 1944. The image was taken by photographer Ranald Mackechnie, who also took the jubilee portrait of the Queen released to mark the start of national festivities of her milestone 70-year reign.
Speaking about her wedding day on April 9 2005, Camilla recalled a hilarious anecdote that showed off the late Queen's sense of humour.
