Here's another pic from Corbis from the Living Legends Awards at Windsor Castle.

Queen Elizabeth II accompanied by the "compere", TV and radio presenter Michael Parkinson (R), congratulates Help The Aged Living Legend award winner, actor Sir Roger Moore at a ceremony at Windsor Castle.

I personally like the green. Roger Moore looks a little older than he did as James Bond though. Very appropriate for a Living Legends Award however.

The Queen spending time making friends with dogs and horses? No surprises there, then. Looks as though everyone had a pleasant day.
