I was so touched to see HM wearing the same brooch for her diamond wedding Anniversay photo that she wore 60 years ago. [The first and second photos]

Ooops.. I missed looking at the brooches.. was too busy looking at the glances between the two over the years. Amazing collection of photos.. I love them!
I went back and looked... its amazing that in both photos they are looking at each other the same way. Not only did she wear the same brooch, but looked and smiled at him in the exact same way. "whatever being in love is".. this be it.:flowers:

As I have commented and posted to other threads how amazing this collection is.. I think its time to thank the person that posted it.
Fantastic collage of photographs that I think says it all. I surprised myself with even being able to read some of the comments on the photos!
I would love to know what the heck the Queen and Charles were laughing so uproariously at.. that's got to be my favorite picture of the two of them together!

You can almost see the question marks above her head in the pic with the football players.

I love looking at these old photos. The Duke and HM look wonderful. What's the most recent official photo the Duke and the Queen have taken together? I can't remember the Queen's official photo either tbh.
 
In that first one I can definitely see how much Elizabeth looks like her sister Margaret.

Check out some of the previous postings for pics of HM and the DoE on their visit to Canada. Official portraits? I'm hoping that for the DoE's 90th there will be one. I'd not be surprised that there's one in the works.

I love the older photos too.. and the portraits. What we don't remember is that HM was as popular, if not more, than Diana was before Fleet Street went for the scandals and what dirt they could find. Ah.. for the days that they respected the monarchy eh?

Thanks for the pictures! :)

Many thanks for reposting. They are wonderful photos, over a long range of years.
 
Great collection of photos and thank you. I loved the one with the penguins... they paraded in uniform precisement.. :D
Was the one solo portrait of the woman holding or alluding to pointing to some royal badge QEQM in her younger days?

Lovely candids. Princess Margaret was so beautiful.
 
What a nice group of pictures (too bad the Mail has to constantly emphasize the King's speech problem, although obviously the movie has generated more interest in Queen Elizabeth's girlhood).

The 1936 family portrait is especially wonderful, as one can consider which features Queen Elizabeth pulls from her father and which from her mother. The width of her cheekbones looks to be right in the middle between her two parents; her mouth also seems to be a combination, although the expression really resembles her mother.

Very attractive family, they seem so sweet-natured. I think both the King and the future Queen have similar expressions on their face, a bit more direct with the camera.
 
Such beautiful pictures of the Queen with her parents! It seems like from her childhood, she has that air of dignity and maturity that we've all come to know and love. It's like she has been preparing to be Queen from early childhood onward.

Long may she reign!
 
Glorious old photos

One can clearly see PP's wedding ring under his signet.
