The Queen was known for her stately manner and grace. But since the tragic passing of Her Majesty, many stories have been shared that highlight her incredible sense of humour - including a new tale shared by former royal protection officer Richard Griffin.
Richard knew HRH better than many, as for years he worked alongside her and kept her safe - so it should come as no surprise that when he retired from duty the Queen wanted to pay tribute to him in some way. Unperturbed by not getting an invite, Queen Elizabeth II joked that she would 'gatecrash' Richard's retirement party - and then she did exactly that, alongside senior royals.
