To mark their 70th wedding anniversary, HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh have posed for a series of portraits.
The royal couple were married on 20th November 1947, with Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten taking the title of Duke of Edinburgh a few days before his wedding to the then-Princess Elizabeth.
On Sunday we celebrated the royal couple’s 70th anniversary with a series of pictures from their life together – these latest images complete the set.
