Britain’s Queen Elizabeth has conducted her first ever official duty by golf buggy.
The 96-year-old monarch was clearly happy with her new mode of transport, deployed for the first time at the Chelsea flower show.
It is the first time the new buggy, bought by her aides in recent months, has been seen in public.
Queen Elizabeth has been suffering episodic mobility issues since earlier this year, leading to her canceling some engagements.
But in recent days she has been seen out and about repeatedly, going to a horse show and opening a new transit line in London.
The Queen was an annual visitor to the Chelsea Flower Show in south-west London but it was canceled in 2020 and scaled down in 2021.
This year she dressed in fuschia as she was driven between displays.
The horticultural exhibition is visited by tens of thousands for the week it is open, The Queen is patron of the Royal Horticultural Society which runs it.
Also on royal duty at the show were her nephew Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester and his wife Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucster.
Her son Prince Edward, his wife Sophie, Duchess of Wessex, Princess Alexandra, the Queens cousin, and her cousin the Duke of Kent were all there too.
