BBC Scotland reports a new photographic portrait of Her Majesty The Queen, who is wearing a white gown. It has been unveiled at the Scottish Parliament. The image was taken by Shaun Murawski, 24, who received the commission as part of a competition to mark the 10th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament.
The Princess Royal unveiled the portrait during a ceremony in the building's main hall.
Mr Murawski said: "I still feel hugely grateful to be given such an opportunity at my age ... For me the portrait captures what a moment in Her Majesty's company feels like. She is an extraordinary human being in all her benevolence and warmth".
The picture also shows HM wearing a diamond thistle broach, which had belonged to Queen Mary, while she looks to her right.
It was taken in the Palace of Holyroodhouse's Throne Room in July, 2010.
