Two stand outs for me
Wasn't the last one the Queen's favourite photo? It was taken by Sophie Countess of Wessex at Balmoral. It's a nice reminder that they had family day outs like all of us.

Spotted this one in the Toronto Star paper.

Any photo of her laughing. RustyBin5’s choice above is a stand out
This is my favourite, mainly because I took it myself
Wasn't she a truck mechanic during WWII? Maybe SHE is instructing HIM.
Indeed. See the eighth one down in this collection on the BBC website.

I always liked her driving, I just found it amusing that she drove round in Range/Land Rovers with confidence..
I think it’s definitely this one. Firstly because she has signed it and secondly because it relates to a building that I had a hand in designing and which she opened.
It hangs above the khazi.

In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
She looks happiest in the Defender!I always liked her driving, I just found it amusing that she drove round in Range/Land Rovers with confidence..
Nice image of the Queen on Sydney Opera House.

Wonderful.
Didn’t she have a lovely, warm smile…🙂
Great idea for a thread and great photos so far :-)
Has to be the winner. Given who the soldier is too. Great picture.Two stand outs for me
This is my favourite. Cecil Beaton knew how to take an atmospheric photo.
This one. For me the same look and feel as the iconic pic of Connery next to the Aston.
That for me is perfection itself.

It's things like that which show her true nature, despite the position she found herself in from birth and the commitments she had to maintain.
Does this one count?...
I can see her watching Naked Gun and having a good laugh - I think that was her personality.

I'm no royalist, but that' the one for me, too. There are some B&W from the same date, too.This one. For me the same look and feel as the iconic pic of Connery next to the Aston.
My favourites are always the corgi or mischief related ones.
Love the ones from her war time service -
