The Queen paid a touching tribute to Prince Philip with her dress choice for the State Opening of Parliament.
On Tuesday, Her Majesty outlined promises from the Government as she carried out her first major public ceremonial duty since the death of her husband.
Fans noticed her outfit choice held a special significance and tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh.
A tweet from a royal fan pointed out: "The Queen is wearing the same dress she wore on the photograph released for Prince Philip ’s 99th birthday."
For the Queen's Speech, the Queen wore a long blue coat with a matching dress adorned with yellow flowers, and a coordinating blue hat, by Angela Kelly.
It was the same dress the Queen wore in a portrait of her and the Duke of Edinburgh on his 99th and final birthday.
For the first time in 120 years, the consort's throne that is usually placed next to the monarch for the event was absent, following the sad death of Prince Philip last month.
Instead Prince Charles followed his late father's example to take his mother's hand and provide support during the formal event.
But it meant that much like Philip's funeral, the Queen was pictured alone in a striking reminder of her sad loss.
The ceremony did not have all of the pomp and circumstance of a normal State Opening, with no horse-drawn carriages or page boys.
Much of its pageantry was missing because of Covid restrictions still in place despite the easing of lockdown measures in England.
The Queen set out the Government's post-pandemic agenda outlining a raft of new laws the PM hopes will help him fulfil his promise to tackle inequality and "level up" the country.
It included promises to receive more tailored and preventative care through the NHS, to provide measures to tackle obesity and mental health and to bring proposals on social reform forward.
She also said proposals will be brought forward to create and support jobs, to support a lifetime skills guarantee and to help businesses drive economic growth.
