Queen Elizabeth II paid tribute to her late mother, known as Queen Mother, as she attended Trooping the Colour to mark her 95th birthday.

The monarch wore an art deco brooch, made with diamonds and bright blue aquamarines that belonged to her mother. The jewellery dates back to the 1930s and was spotted on Queen Mother’s attire on several occasions, according to Daily Mail.

Earlier, Queen Elizabeth II reportedly wore the brooch for her annual Christmas broadcast in 2015, and later at a garden party in Buckingham Palace in 2017.
