THE Queen looked blooming lovely today as she visited the Chelsea Flower Show.
Her Majesty, 96, beamed as she arrived by buggy at the annual show in South West London.
It was unclear whether she would make the event but Buckingham Palace confirmed she was attending at the eleventh hour.
She has attended the world-famous event more than 50 times in her 70-year reign as patron of the Royal Horticultural Society.
The Queen has been celebrated at the show with a floral portrait in the official Platinum Jubilee shade of purple.
The artwork also features branches from British trees joined together with shelves holding 70 terracotta pots.

They include one of the Queen’s favourites plants lily of the valley, which was also included in her coronation bouquet.
There will also be a monument that features a photography exhibition of the Queen’s visits to the show throughout her reign.
Other members of the Royal Family will be visiting the show today ahead of the official opening on Tuesday.
The list includes the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Princess Beatrice, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and Princess Alexandra.
The Queen has made a number of appearances in recent weeks ahead of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations on June 2.
Last week, she joined youngest son Edward for the opening of the new Elizabeth line at Paddington Station.
Her visit, which was kept a surprise, delighted royal fans as she topped up her Oyster card.
It came just two days after she got her Jubilee celebrations off to a flying start as she rubbed shoulders with Hollywood royalty in Windsor.
She was hailed by Top Gun star Tom Cruise, 59, who said: “What she has accomplished has been historic.”
Dame Helen Mirren, who played Her Majesty in 2006 film The Queen, Billions actor Damian Lewis, Bridgerton’s Adjoa Andoh and TV gardener Alan Titchmarsh were also at the star-studded event.
