The Queen made a hilarious quip after she saw the funny side when a man's mobile phone rings at a crucial moment.
The 96-year-old monarch, joined by the Princess Royal, was making a rare public appearance outside Windsor Castle, to formally launch the new home of the £22 million Thames Hospice.
Just as she was introduced to Graham White and his wife Pat, who has stage 4 cancer and is receiving respite care at the centre in Maidenhead, his phone rang.
