Britain's Queen Elizabeth has paid tribute to Canadian servicemen for their bravery during the First World War.
The 88-year-old monarch visited Canada House in London's Trafalgar Square with her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, yesterday (19.04.15) where she met descendants of those who fought in the battles.
The Queen sported a stunning white gold and diamond brooch, which was gifted to her by The Calgary Highlanders - of whom she is Colonel-in-Chief - one of three Canadian regiments who are visiting Europe to mark the centenary of the 2nd Battle of Ypres.
According to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, the couple met Canada's High Commissioner Gordon Campbell, who described the reception as "exceptional".
He said: "It is always exceptional when Her Majesty comes and joins us at Canada House, particularly now as this is the 100 year anniversary of the bestowing of the first military honours to Canadians.
"You can just feel, in the room, how important it is to everyone that she is here. It is really an honour and it is the sort of commemorative activity that is important to the soldiers and the service people who are involved."

A medium who claims to be in contact with the late Princess Diana says the royal baby will be born on Saturday (25.04.15).
Carolina Bruce from Knaresborough in North Yorkshire, insists she has been having daily conversations with the mother of Prince William, who is expecting his second child with his wife the Duchess of Cambridge, and has been told the couple will have a baby girl this weekend.
She has even gone as far as to predict the princess will be under 8lbs and have dark hair and blue eyes, with a name which includes the moniker Victoria or Diana.
The 58-year-old clairvoyant has bet £50 on her prediction, which comes with odds of 500/1, and will see her take home a huge £25,000 if she is correct.
Carolina - who has promised to donate her winnings to charity - told the Daily Express newspaper: "I've been speaking with Diana regularly since the news was announced Kate was expecting again.
"There's been a lot of speculation about the sex of the baby, but I know exactly what's happening.
"People think I'm bonkers, but I just know it's going to be a little girl.
"I can't wait for Ladbrokes to donate the winnings to charity."

Britain's Prince William has promised to "do everything he can" to attend a First World War memorial on Saturday (25.04.15) despite it also being the day his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, is due to give birth to their second child.
The 32-year-old royal has vowed to join the commemorations at the Cenotaph in London, which mark the 100 year anniversary of the Gallipoli landings in Turkey, as the event is "very important to him".
It remains unknown whether the Duke is set to join his grandparents Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh at the memorial service as his wife, 33, could go into labour the same day.
A source told The Mail on Sunday newspaper: "The Duke's intention is to be at the commemorations. Being the 100th anniversary it is very important to him.
"We will have to see what happens.
"The Duchess has said the baby is due at the second half of the month but we don't know exactly when the baby will arrive."
It appears Prince William won't be far from his wife's side if she does go into labour as the brunette beauty is believed to be basing herself at Kensington Palace in the capital, just a short journey away from Paddington hospital, where it is reported she will give birth.

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are keeping their ideas for their second child's godparents on "the down low".
Duchess Catherine and Prince William - who have 21-month-old son Prince George together - are due to welcome their second child later this month and royal expert Victoria Arbiter has spoken out about the importance of choosing the child's godparents.
She explained: "It's an important role. A godparent is there to provide religious guidance. It's also somebody who is there other than a parent or family member that a child could turn to. Some royals have had as many as 12, so the possibility of people to be named can be a little tricky."
The Duke and Duchess named family friends of the late Princess Diana, a former royal aide and an old university friend as George's godparents after his birth in 2013, with Catherine leaving her sister Pippa and William his brother Prince Harry off the list.
Victoria told HELLO! magazine: "William and Kate are so keen to keep things on the down low and pretty chill. They want someone who is close to them and that they can trust. We won't find out who the royal couple has chosen for their new bundle of joy until the baby's christening, but there's already buzz about who could possibly take on the coveted role."

A woman has bet more than £2,000 on the royal baby being a girl named Alice.
The unidentified woman from Chelmsford in Essex will win £3,398.90 if Britain's Duchess of Cambridge - who is also known by her maiden name Kate Middleton - gives birth to a baby girl later this month and decides to name her Alice.
The gambler opened an online account with Ladbrokes before placing three bets totalling £989.50 on the baby being a girl at odds of 8/13.
The mystery customer then went on to place a further £456.66 on the second child of Duchess Catherine and Prince William being named Alice at odds of 3/1 before betting another £710 when the odds were cut to 2/1.
Ladbrokes' Jessica Bridge told The Sun newspaper: "It's hard to imagine she knows as much, if not more, than Kate and William.
"But it's a very peculiar and specific wager to have from a new account. Time will tell if she knows something we don't or if she's just got a hunch."
While Alice is now the favourite if the royal couple welcome a girl, Elizabeth is in second place with odds of 5/1 while Charlotte is at third with 6/1.
Meanwhile, James is the favourite boys name with odds at 8/1 followed by Arthur at 10/1.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their first child, Prince George in July 2013.

Cressida Bonas has been spotted on a date with 'Wolf Hall' actor Edward Holcroft.
The 26-year-old beauty - who previously dated Britain's Prince Harry - was seen enjoying a trip to the cinema with the up and coming actor earlier this week.
However, friends of Cressida's insist she is still single and claim she and the 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' actor are just "close friends".
The rumoured couple - who are both managed by the same acting agency - were seen at the Westfield Centre in White City, west London watching their mutual pal Lily James in 'Cinderella'.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "They seemed to be very close indeed, they were hugging and kissing.
"He's a striking guy and they seemed to be having fun."
Meanwhile, it was recently claimed the dance graduate would take the 33-year-old royal back if he asked her to marry him.
A source said previously: "Unless there's a proposal attached, she's not interested."
Cressida is said to be enjoying single life at the moment, however, insisting she is a "strong, independent woman".

Pippa Middleton has come under fire for eating whale meat.
The 31-year-old beauty - who is the younger sister of Britain's Duchess of Cambridge - wrote about eating whale in a travel column earlier this week and has now been slammed as "cruel" by animal-rights groups.
Speaking about her ski trip to Norway in the Daily Telegraph, Pippa wrote: "We dined on smoked whale carpaccio (which tastes similar to smoked salmon but looks more like venison carpaccio), followed by a signature rustic Norweigen dish of salted cod in tomato, with hunks of fresh homemade bread to mop up the sauce."
Those against the killing of whales for food have now hit back saying her comments were "ill-advised", "disappointing" and "cruel".
Vanessa Williams-Grey of Whale and Dolphin Conservation wrote on the organisation's website: "This is really disappointing news, particularly as Pippa is so high-profile.
"Killing whales is cruel, there is no humane way to kill them and many are slaughtered using brutal harpoon grenades.
"It might have been better for Pippa to take a whale-watch trip in Norway. She may then have thought twice about condoning and indeed, promoting, this cruel and unnecessary trade."
It is unknown what Pippa's brother in law Prince William thinks of the issue as he is an avid campaigner against the poaching of animals.

Britain's Prince William is campaigning for the European Union to take a tougher stance on poaching.
The 33-year-old royal has joined a campaign for the EU to "get their house in order" when it comes to the illegal trade, which sees approximately 2,500 wildlife products seized throughout the member countries every year.
According to the Daily Express newspaper, he said: "Our children should not live in a world without elephants, tigers, pangolins and rhinos. Enough is enough. We are not asking for your money.
"We are asking for your voice and your attention. We are asking you to join our side. It's time to choose between critically endangered species and the criminals who kill them for money."
Experts claim the official figures are only the tip of the iceberg and estimate that those items seized only represent around 10 per cent or less of the total amount of illegal products being smuggled through Europe.
According to those calculations, the real figure could be in excess of 25,000 every year while shocking figures released by the wildlife charity, the Born Free Foundation show that staggering numbers of tigers, rhinos, elephants and other endangered species are being illegally slaughtered so that they can be used for high-value items such as medicine, food or sold to be kept as pets.
The charity is now attempting to pressure the EU to impose an action plan with measurable targets to reduce the illegal trade, with the Prince supporting their argument as a keen activist against poaching.
