It was taken 2 days before she died; her very last public photograph. They say a photo tells a thousand words. This photo tells a story of a woman who unreservedly dedicated herself to her country until the very end. She remained as committed to her sovereign duty at the age of 96 as she was at the age of 25 when she ascended to the throne.

Where can you see a rectangle or a circle? Can you find horizontal, vertical, perpendicular or parallel lines? In 1988, the Queen Mother's secretary called up Fulton in search of a clear, dome-shaped umbrella, but the style had gone out of production due to a decline in sales. We get a call every so often for a dozen gloves, usually before a foreign tour,' Genevieve revealed in 2012. Design and make a new hat for a queen to wear on special occasions. Watch this video from British Pathé which shows hats that Queen Elizabeth II wore:If you could meet a member of the Royal Family, what questions would you ask? How might they respond? Gerald often spoke to the Queen's dresser Angela Kelly, reportedly one of the Queen's closest confidantes, to ensure his designs suit the monarch's signature look that consisted of a bold coloured outfit with a monochrome bag. But, as the Head of State, she recognised that she had to move to always wearing British (unlike Princess Margaret who often frequented the likes of Dior). Despite this, most of her hat makers were foreign, but moved to London for their careers. It was only when her late dressmaker Ian Thomas complained that monochrome gloves would ruin an outfit he'd made for a trip to Paris that she wore colour.

Make a note of the places mentioned in the story and find them on a map. Could you plot the route that the Queen takes throughout the story? If you were to recreate the journey, how would you travel to each location? How long might each step take? Artisans who work with the family are often reluctant to share what that process is like, but Trevor-Morgan did say, "When designing a hat for Her Majesty, I mostly collaborate with fellow warrant holder [dressmaker] Stewart Parvin. I receive a sketch and swatches from him and take the hat design process from there. I take into account the color of the coat and print of the dress and also occasion (although we are not always privy to that). It is a huge honor to make hats for The Queen, she has such a wonderful sense of style and has worn so many hats over the years, I feel enormously proud to be playing my part." When it comes to hats, Her Majesty certainly has a long reign of fabulous headgear to consider. From ladylike 1950s hats with netting to trendy turbans in the 1970s and even floral-covered shower cap-style hats, we’ve seen it all from The Queen. More recently, Angela Kelly has made most of the Queen’s hats – and outfits. She began as the Queen’s dresser in 1993, became her personal assistant and senior dresser in 2002, and in 2007 became the “Personal assistant, Advisor and Curator to HM Queen for Jewellery, Insignias and Wardrobe”. Most consideration is given to the Queen’s hats when she is going abroad, with designers often adding emblems as a nod to the country she is visiting.Recently, she placed a Launer bag over her arm as she arrived at a Service of Thanksgiving for Britain's Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey in central London on March 29, 2022 The nation continued to supply the Queen's aquamarine collection, including providing stones for a tiara she had adapted in 1971.

Her Majesty lived her life to its full every day, recognising and respecting the privilege, importance and influence of her position, wielding it in the most dignified way. And as a female monarch, she offered continuous inspiration and hope to women of all ages, bringing integrity, grace, intellect and immeasurable value to society - all whilst privately balancing being a mother, a grandmother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, and a friend - every day her life.

We tend to work on a bag we already have, then personalise it with what Angela knows the Queen wants, or for specific engagements she may have.' The gold Scarab brooch, with ruby and diamond embellishments, was a 1966 gift from the Duke of Edinburgh. The very stylish Queen Alexandra (who died a year before the Queen was born so would have only been seen in photographs)
