A photographer who took the last public picture of Queen Elizabeth II said she was "frail" but in "good spirits".
PA photographer Jane Barlow was dispatched to Balmoral to capture the moment when the Monarch met the new Prime Minister, formally pointing Liz Truss to her new role. Ms Barlow took some portraits while waiting for the Conservative leader to arrive at the Queen's Highland retreat, Balmoral.
Ms Barlow said in true British style there as small talk about the weather, with dark skies and heavy rain overhead for much of the day. But the photographer, who has worked with the PA news agency in Scotland for six years, said of the Queen: "I got a lot of smiles from her."
