The Queen has made a surprise visit to see the new Elizabeth line at London’s Paddington Station, Buckingham Palace has said.
The 96-year-old monarch joined the Earl of Wessex for the official visit.
Partly because Her Majesty has been suffering mobility problems it was not known whether she would be able to attend – though organisers were told there was a possibility she might.
She looked resplendent in Stewart Parvin double-wool crepe coat in sunshine yellow.
That was paired with an A-line silk dress in shades of yellow, royal blue and turquoise, and a matching hat by Rachel Trevor-Morgan.
The monarch was also wearing her Singapore brooch.
