The Queen attended the royal preview of the Chelsea Flower Show, much to the delight of royal fans.

Her Majesty wore a lovely bright pink coat and looked very on theme with a floral dress and broach. She toured around the iconic show in style, using for the first time in public, a luxury buggy.

This will mark the first time she’s missed it in 70 years, she will also sadly miss the reaming Buckingham Palace garden parties (opens in new tab).
