“Ahead of Her Majesty The Queen’s State Funeral, a new photograph has been released,” said the royal family’s official Twitter account.

“The photo was taken to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee – the first British Monarch to reach this milestone. Tomorrow, millions will come together to commemorate her remarkable life.”

This isn’t the first time Mackechnie has photographed the Queen – in fact, he took the Queen’s official Platinum Jubilee portrait, which was released in June to mark the start of the celebrations to commemorate her 70-year reign.
