There was an article in the Daily Mail recently that shows HM wearing this brooch on a drive home from church with Prince Philip. I've never seen it before. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2170890/Prince-Philip-seen-driving-Queen-church-time-hospitalised-bladder-infection.html --Previous Message-- : I did not recognise it either. I caught a : glimpse of it in person today, as Leeds is : my home city, thus I went out to stand in : the crowds. : : Although I failed to place it. I checked the : lists I know of official gifts and wedding : gifts to The Queen and other members of the : royal family, yet no description matches, : especially not one from the City of Leeds. : : Although, it is of course possible that this : brooch was a gift from the city of Leeds to : The Queen at some point or another; perhaps : her visit to the city in 1977. This is the : most likely explanation, which explains why : it hasn't been seen before now. : : : --Previous Message-- : On a visit to Yorkshire today, the Queen : wore : a brooch which appears to have some sort of : Tudor rose design, possibly in diamonds and : rubies. I don't recall seeing it before -- : do we know anything about it? : : : : : The bottom half of the design looks quite : interesting. : : : :
