The Queen, 93, broke with her tradition of wearing blue – her favourite colour – in favour of a timeless grey coat embellished with lemon floral embroidery.

The monarch donned a matching hat and accessorised with an exquisite floral brooch speckled with canary yellow diamonds which was a gift from the Sultan of Oman, Daily Mail reports.

Rarely seen without them, the Queen also wore her signature pearl stud earrings and three-tier pearl necklace.
