A London pilot has flown more than 250 nautical miles to create an outline of the Queen's profile on a map.
Ms Larhlid wrote on her fundraising page: "She was an inspiration to many generations, devoting herself to service for 70 years."
She added that she believed "in the power of remembrance and appreciation in times like these" and wanted to make the flight to pay her respects to the late monarch.Image source,Ms Larhlid planned her route by converting a portrait of the Queen into a format recognised by a flight planning programme called ForeFlight.
She also had a manual back-up of the route made using landmarks, and flew multiple practice flights to get the feel for the required track and turns. Parts of the flight path took her through restricted air space and she had to stay in touch with air traffic control throughout. She told Flightradar24 she had to stay "laser focused on the track" but the challenge was "great fun".Follow BBC London on
