The Queen has been pictured for the first time since the Jubilee celebrations using a walking stick.
The monarch was snapped alongside Prince Charles and Camilla to mark the Order of the Garter service, having handed the latter a huge new honour.
HM, 96, who was dressed in a silver white gown and her blue Garter sash and holding a walking stick, was stood between the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
The first-in-line to the throne, 73, and his wife, 74, were in their grand velvet Garter robes.
The photograph was taken at Windsor Castle on Monday ahead of the Garter service in St George's Chapel.
On the Queen's arm was a matching silver handbag and in her hand her glasses. She was also wearing her Garter star badge, her Bow Brooch and silver shoes.
It comes after Buckingham Palace announced Prince Andrew would not appear in the public gallery.
However, the disgraced Duke of York will attend a private lunch and ceremony investing new members of the Order of the Garter.
It is understood the decision for Andrew, whose reputation has been severely tarnished by his involvement in a civil sex case lawsuit, not to take part publicly was a “family decision”.
The royals limited disgraced Andrew's appearance to a behind-the-scenes lunch and investiture ceremony.
Therefore Andrew was not seen in public during the event, one of the most colourful in the royal calendar, after Prince Charles and William reportedly lobbied the Queen about his participation.
The Duke of Cambridge is reported to have warned he would pull out of the ceremony if his disgraced uncle was allowed to take part.
He cut a "dour and miserable-looking figure", a body language expert has said.
Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair was appointed to the oldest and most senior British Order of Chivalry as a Knight Companion and the honour prompted a noisy protest outside the castle walls by around 100 Stop the War activists who at one point chanted "Tony Blair war criminal".
The Queen did not take part in the traditional procession of Garter Knights and Ladies through the grounds of the Berkshire castle.
Given her ongoing mobility issues, the decision was expected and in past years she has travelled by car to the place of worship.
She did attend the behind-the-scenes lunch and investiture ceremony.
It is the first time the Queen has been pictured since the four days of festivities celebrating her Platinum Jubilee.
Camilla was in the procession for the first time having been appointed a Royal Lady of the Order of the Garter.
