'Graceful' new portrait of the Queen unveiled
A commemorative service for The Royal British Legion's 90 year anniversary was held in London on Tuesday, where a brand new royal painting was unveiled.
Artist Darren Baker from Gloucestershire painted the 'photo-like' oil painting of the Queen with incredible attention to detail.
A sharp eye would note the time on the Queen's watch to be set to 11.00, relating to Remembrance Day.
Darren said of his painting, "I felt a great sense of responsibility in completing this commission and following in a great line of royal portrait painters.
"My aim from the outset was to create a portrait that would capture the grace of our wonderful monarch whilst incorporating the essence of the Legion."
The Queen has been patron of The Royal British Legion since 1953.
