    The Queen attended this morning the traditional service of Maundy Thursday, at Sheffield Cathedral.

    For this occasion, she wore the Mappin & Webb Orchid Brooch:

    As far as I know, it is only the second outing of this brooch: Queen Elizabeth II had worn this brooch for the first (and until today only) time (almost exactly) one year ago, on 8 April 2014, for the welcoming ceremony of the President of the Republic of Ireland, Michael O'Higgins:
