Portrait pictures of a young Queen Elizabeth II taken at the beginning of her reign and the jewels she wore are going on display at Buckingham Palace from Friday.
Tiaras, earrings and necklaces form part of "The Queen's Accession" exhibition marking her record-breaking seven decades on the throne.
Ninety-six-year-old Elizabeth, Britain's longest-reigning and currently the world's oldest monarch, became queen on 6 February 1952, on the death of her father King George VI.
