Gary Barlow has spoken about his relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth II, paying tribute to the former monarch following news of her death just last week.
The singer-songwriter, 51 - who first met the late monarch at the Royal Variety Performance in 1993 - has admitted he had a "little tear" in his eye when he heard the news.
He's paid tribute to the late queen - who passed away, aged 96, on September 8 - telling the Sun that she did "such a wonderful job and was such a wonderful example to us all."
