Her Majesty the Queen…and an incredibly embarrassing reflection

This looks very dodgy...

As you will no doubt be aware, HRH Queen Elizabeth II became the longest reigning monarch in Britain’s history this week.

There was no shortage of tributes to mark the fact, and it must be said she looks in fine fettle for someone entering their 90th year.

She marked the milestone by travelling on a steam train to inaugurate the new Scottish Borders Railway, and a 1,000-strong crowd gathered at Tweedbank railway station to welcome her on the historic day.

As ever, there was throng of photographers documenting the occasion, and they captured her looking radiant in a turquoise outfit.

However, one snap in particular caught the eye of Twitter user LukeHoosTawking, and it wasn’t because of the historic nature of the monarch’s public appearance.

We really can’t repeat what Luke noticed – partly for the sake of decency and also because we don’t want to be sent to the Tower. But take a look for yourself.

The reflection of the Queen’s left hand looks very much like it’s putting a smile on Prince Philip’s face for reasons other than the view…
