Buckingham Palace has released a new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the eve of celebrations to mark her Platinum Jubilee.
"I continue to be inspired by the goodwill shown to me, and hope that the coming days will provide an opportunity to reflect on all that has been achieved during the last 70 years, as we look to the future with confidence and enthusiasm." Recent health problems — including contracting COVID-19 in February and ongoing back issues — have seen the Queen appear less frequently in public this year, missing important events such as reading the Queen's Speech in person, instead deputising her eldest son and heir, Prince Charles.More than 1,000 people were honoured in the Queen's Jubilee birthday honours list that was released ahead of the celebrations.
Together with his late wife, Helen McCrory — who starred as Polly Gray in Peaky Blinders — Lewis initiated a campaign to raise one million pounds to provide food for health service workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
