Queen Elizabeth II made sure she stood out during her first in-person royal engagement of the year, choosing a bright outfit full of meaning.
The monarch marked the 100th anniversary of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) at the CWGC Air Forces Memorial, Runnymede.
The memorial is a short drive from Windsor Castle where Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh have been isolating since March, 2020.

It must be positively hellish to find the right gift for a member of the royal family. What the devil do you get for someone who lives in a palace (or a grand stately home at the very least), has access to a trove of tiaras and whose Gan Gan has the keys to the Crown Jewels?
Lucky then that the Queen has a few tricks up her Angela Kelly-designed sleeves and can dole out the perfect, money-can t-buy token: her patronages.
