The Queen has been a picture of British elegance during her state visit to Germany. Travelling with her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, the 78-year-old monarch has made a series of appearances in Europe's most populous country in various shades of blue.
She was sporting an eye-catching turquoise affair when she was welcomed by a huge crowd of well-wishers in Berlin on Tuesday. And the royal opted for a darker hue when she gave speech at the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Stahnsdorf the following afternoon.
Her most memorable outfit, however, was the midnight-blue gown with white detailing which she chose for a gala fundraiser at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall.
The Queen has been using her time in Germany to help foster relations between the two countries. She also praised the courageous efforts of those who defied the East German Communist regime to tend the graves of Britain's war heroes. "Stereotypes wither when human contacts flourish," she said. "And we should encourage our young people to know more about each others' countries."
