Today The Queen, accompanied by The Prince of Wales, opened The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries at Westminster Abbey.
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries are set more than 16m above the Abbey's floor in the medieval Triforium and have never been open to the public before.
They showcase 300 treasures from Westminster Abbey's collection, which spans its 1000 year history. After a tour of the galleries with The Dean of Westminster, The Queen and HRH met those involved in the restoration project.
Alan Titchmarsh then showed The Queen and The Prince of Wales a fountain in the abbey's cloister garth to commemorate the tercentenary of the 18th century landscape gardener Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, which he helped to design. The Queen then unveiled a plaque and received a posy before departing.More photos below.
