Several Members of Parliament, constitutional historians, representatives of non-governmental organisations, and senior figures from the legal profession attended the reception at the palace to celebrate 800 years since the Magna Carta was sealed in 1215.
The Queen wore a bright red dress with a matching jacket and accessorised with a diamond brooch, a pair of pearl earrings and a pearl necklace.
During the event, guests were given the opportunity to view a facsimile of Magna Carta, provided by the British Library. King John agreed the Magna Carta at Runnymede, near Windsor, in June 1215 – a moment hailed as one of the most significant in English history. Click link for full post from The Daily Mail.
