Thanks GillW I don't think I would have guessed that it was the Sri Lankan floral spray brooch. I did not think that it was that big so I went back to pictures from Williamsburg in 2007 and low and behold it is that big ! I guess it is just the angle of the picture that sort of distorts it. This pic I uploaded was from a 2005 trip to Alberta and it rained...a lot! HM always had her rain coat on so you never saw the brooch. The picture I did find was when she presented the insignia of a Knight of Justice in the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem to the then Lt. Govenor of Alberta Norman Kwong. Do you have any other pictures that show the brooch off any better? Thanks again. Cheers!
