Queen Camilla has re-worn her stunning Bruce Oldfield dress from the Coronation for today's historic State Opening of Parliament.
King Charles's wife also wore Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Diadem, which the late monarch wore for her own Coronation in 1953.
Today marks the first time a King has delivered the King's Speech in over 70 years.
Last year, Charles delivered the Queen's Speech when he was the Prince of Wales as Queen Elizabeth II was unable to do so.
