The royal family have paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth on what would have been her 97th birthday.
The monarch died in September at the age of 96 and her relatives have remembered her in touching posts on Instagram seven months on.
Today, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales released a previously unseen picture of the late Queen surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren which was taken by the princess at the Balmoral estate in Scotland last summer.
In the post, the royal couple wrote: “Today would have been Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s 97th birthday. This photograph - showing her with some of her grandchildren and great grandchildren - was taken at Balmoral last summer.”
The picture shows the late Queen with Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex - whose parents are Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh - as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales’ kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
