As Queen Elizabeth II approaches her Platinum Jubilee later this year, we take a look at some of the most iconic pictures of Her Majesty throughout her life and reign.
The Queen , 95, will mark her Platinum Jubilee this year following 70 years as Monarch of Great Britain.
Her Majesty has lived an incredible life, both personally and professionally, and all elements will be celebrated from February 6 until June 2022 – where the UK will also be treated to an extra Bank Holiday.
To honour HRH the Queen, we've pulled together some of the most famous moments in her life in pictures, from her christening in 1926 to more recent times spent with her great-grandchildren.
