The Queen looks every bit the proud grandmother as she leads the royals at The Chelsea Flower Show just two days after Harry and Meghan's wedding
The Queen looked delighted as she joined other members of the royal family at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show today, fresh from the weekend's wedding celebrations.
Famous faces including Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield, Alan Titchmarsh, David Walliams and Joanna Lumley have been spotted among the flora.
Her Majesty was accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Royal and Princess Alexandra, and will attend a private reception later on this evening.
Other royals in attendance included Princess Beatrice, the Duke of York, and the Princess and Prince of Kent.
Prime Minister Theresa May was this morning shown a 'genuine Yorkshire cowpat' at the Welcome to Yorkshire garden.
Established in 1913, the flower show has become one of the world's biggest showcases for horticultural excellence, attracting visitors and exhibitors from across the globe.
It has grown from 244 exhibitors in 1913 to more than 500 today, including gardens, nurseries, floristry, educational displays and trade stands. The show attracts 168,000 visitors.
The show is organised by the Royal Horticultural Society, of which the Queen is patron.
On arrival the Queen was greeted on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London by the President of the Royal Horticultural Society, Sir Nicholas Bacon.
She was then taken on a tour of the gardens and see displays, including the The RHS Feel Good Garden, celebrating 70 years of the National Health Service and highlighting the positive impact of horticulture on mental health.
