Palace releases never-before-seen photo of Queen ahead of funeral

An incredible never-before-seen photo of Queen Elizabeth II has been released.

The Royal Family shared the stunning image of the late monarch ahead of the funeral on September 19.

“Ahead of Her Majesty The Queen’s State Funeral, a new photograph has been released,” they wrote along with the portrait. 

“The photo was taken to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee - the first British Monarch to reach this milestone.

“Tomorrow, millions will come together to commemorate her remarkable life.”

The British Royal Family and fans alike will farewell the Queen at Westminster Abbey with nine-year-old Prince George and his seven-year-old sister, Princess Charlotte, joining in the proceedings. 

Thousands of people have lined up for hours to get a glimpse of the Queen’s coffin lying in state in Westminster Hall over the past days after it was taken from Balmoral in Scotland.

The Queen's state funeral is scheduled to start from 11am (8pm AEST) on Monday, at Westminster Abbey.
