The Queen joined more than 15,000 spectators at the annual Braemar Gathering.

She was accompanied at Balmoral on Saturday by Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Princess Anne.

In its 202nd year, the Highland Games event is seen as the biggest of its kind.

The Queen first came to the event as a seven-year-old child in 1933.

The games have been regularly visited by the reigning monarch and other members of the Royal Family since Queen Victoria first attended in 1848.
