Lime Green for D-Day Commemorations in Normandy

The Queen debuted a new lime green outfit for the 70th anniversary of the Normandy Landings.
On 6 June 2014, Her Majesty, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall attended the Service of Remembrance at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery at Bayeux and met veterans. Afterwards, it was time for a lunch for the Heads of State and Government hosted by the President of the French Republic at the Château de Bénouville and then, in the afternoon, for the actual D-Day commemoration at Sword Beach (Ouistreham).
For the day's events, the Queen chose a chartreuse green coat and flower printed dress by Stuart Parvin, with a flower-embellished straw hat in a matching shade of green by Rachel Trevor Morgan.
For the group photo of the Heads of State, the Queen removed her coat to reveal a flower-printed silk dress underneath.
The addition of the impressive Queen Victoria's Fringe brooch completed the outfit.
