The late Queen spent 70 years on the throne, during which time she carried out more than 21,000 public and official engagements. As such, there wasn't a lot that would phase Her Majesty.
But her composure did slip on one very rare occasion - and the cameras were there to capture the moment.
The momentary mishap took place back in 2010, when Elizabeth stepped out to mark the 150th anniversary of the Eton Combined Cadet Force at Eton College - coincidentally where her great grandson Prince George will start this week.
Dressed in a lilac skirt suit and matching hat, she was warmly greeted by excited crowds as she arrived for the occasion.
The Queen was certainly used to accepting bouquets of flowers on her public engagement - but on this occasion, she struggled to keep hold of a plastic-wrapped display offered to her by a well-wisher.
