The Queen put on cheerful display as she arrived in Berkshire, UK, in a coordinating mint-coloured coat and hat to view the town's new developments and shopping centres on Friday
Cutting a cheerful figure, the Queen opted for a mint-coloured coat embellished with a silver diamond-encrusted brooch and statement black buttons down the centre.
She coordinated the look with a matching pale green hat adorned with flowers, and continuing the theme with a floral skirt.
Opting for black court shoes and warding off the chill with gloves, the royal warded off the autumnal chill as she arrived with officials.
Completing the ensemble the royal carried a black leather Launer bag, an accessory she is rarely seen without.

The Queen is rarely seen without her handbag, usually a black patent design by Launer, and it now taking centre stage in her latest portrait.
Award-winning artist Ben Sullivan included the accessory in a new painting of the Queen to help show the person behind the head of state.
In the painting, commissioned by the RAF Club to mark its centenary, she is shown sat in an ornate chair in Windsor Castle's white drawing room with the item by her feet.

He said about his sitting with the Queen at Windsor Castle: 'I was saying it was quite cold when we did it because it was the end of February and she said, 'it doesn't look like I'm cold' so I think by then we had some extra heaters brought up.
'I think the idea was to capture something of the role of the monarch, but one tries to get behind that to the person.
'And I really like the idea her handbag was placed in front of the gilt chair. It was almost happenstance that it was placed there but it gives some idea there's actually a person as well as a figurehead – it's personal.
'It's where she put it, and I thought I could take it out, but then I thought – actually it's quite a nice thing, a personal thing.'
