Royal fans were delighted to see brand new pictures of the Queen being presented with a special award for her "unstinting service" over the past 70 years.
They showed Her Majesty standing without her walking stick as she was given the Canterbury Cross to recognise her contribution to the Church of England over her long reign.
The 96-year-old head of state held a face-to-face audience with the Archbishop of Canterbury at Windsor Castle yesterday to receive the award after missing Royal Ascot last week.
