The 88-year-old monarch was pictured arriving at the Portsmouth Naval Base to visit HMS Lancaster.

Her Majesty went on board the Type 23 frigate which has been part of the Portsmouth fleet since 1992.

She arrived at the navy base to be greeted by Commodore Jeremy Rigby before receiving a Royal Salute, and looked lovely in a blue coat which she wore over the top of a floral print dress. Click link for full post from EXPRESS.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
