The Queen looked radiant in a powder pink suit as she arrived at Balmoral Castle today. The 91-year-old monarch was greeted at the gates by a guard of honour - and a rather naughty Shetland pony named Cruachan IV.

The three-year-old pony, the regimental mascot of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, made headlines last month when he tried to nibble the Queen's posy during a visit to Stirling Castle, prompting Her Majesty to tell him to 'go away'. Click link for full post from The Daily Mail.

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./
