Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday (8 September), the world looks back on her record breaking 70-year reign.
In just the past 10 years, Britain's longest reigning monarch has acted with iconic British characters, elicited laughter from the world's most powerful leaders, and lit up with glee at the sight of farmyard animals. Her Majesty became known and loved for her dry sense of wit and down to earth humility.
She often shared a joke or a witty comment with those she met while performing her Royal duties, in turn breaking down the barriers of formality that come with being The Queen. As the country, and indeed the world, joins the Royal Family in mourning her loss, we have compiled a selection of some of Queen Elizabeth II's most light-hearted and humorous moments from the past decade.
