New photographs of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have been released to mark their 70th wedding anniversary.

Three images were published on Sunday night, including one where Her Majesty is sitting in a gold-coloured chair, with Prince Philip standing alongside her.

Two of the other new photos are of the couple standing next to each other.

The Queen is wearing a cream day dress by her in-house designer Angela Kelly, which she also wore at the Diamond Wedding Anniversary Service of Thanksgiving. The brooch she is wearing was given to her by Prince Philip in 1966.
