After a hectic week, The Queen looked relaxed as ever as she was joined by Prince William and Princess Anne in Edinburgh.
Her Majesty has been in Scotland all week, took part in the Order of the Thistle ceremony at St Giles’ Cathedral in Scotland with the assistance of her daughter and grandson.
The trio was dressed in the traditional green velvet robes, white Ostrich feather hats and insignia for the ceremony where new Members of the Order were installed by The Queen.
New additions to the Order of the Thistle are awarded to men or women who have made a significant difference to national life or held a public office role.
Some of the Knights and Ladies of the Thistle are previous Chief Scout of the United Kingdom, Sir Garth Morrison and ex-Director of St Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh, Lady Marion Fraser.
