Queen Elizabeth II lookalike quits after more than 30 years in the job

A woman who has spent more than 30 years working as the Queen's lookalike is quitting the job after the monarch's death.

Mary Reynolds, 89, was first told she looked like Queen Elizabeth II when she was just 17, and first became a lookalike in 1988. During her 34-year career, Mary has appeared in numerous films and TV shows, even starring alongside the late Sir Roger Moore in the 1990 comedy film Bullseye, as well as an episode of Doctor Who.

However Mary, from Epping, in Essex, has decided to leave the role as a mark of respect after the Queen passed away at Balmoral on Thursday (September, 8). Ms Reynolds, who has been part of Style Lookalikes since 2005, told the PA news agency she felt "lucky" to look like the Queen, but that her days as a doppelganger are to come to an end.
