Losing the Queen feels, for many, as if we have lost something virtuous and valuable which we all held in common. We did not own the Queen, but she deliberately dressed to make herself familiar to all of us. She made herself part of the landscape. Her bright outfits were as recognisable a feature of the British landscape as Big Ben or the white cliffs of Dover. This lime at the trooping the colour ceremony in 2016 was surely chosen not for vanity, but for visibility. As always, there is an eye for colour and impact. The pairing with Prince Philip’s red is a dynamite bit of colour blocking.
