February 6, marked the 65th year of her rule over the United KingdomThere are no grand festivities planned to mark the head-of-state’s new milestone.
However, to commemorate the anniversary of the monarch’s accession to the throne a David Bailey photograph taken in 2014 has been re-issued.
The portrait shows the Queen wearing sapphires, the 65th anniversary gemstone, given to her by King George VI as a wedding gift in 1947.
The necklace is made of 16 large oblong sapphires surrounded by diamonds and dates from 1850.
The Queen is not due to be out and about on official engagements on the landmark day.
