She looks radiantly happy! That vehicle has me puzzled - it looks like a pickup truck.

Doug D said:
A.Davey I thought the same at first but on closer inspection I think the part of the car where the door is is closed the back of it is an open car. if you look at the rear of the closed section it looks to be open to the back part of the car. I noticed that the left shoe of her majesty seems to have a thicker sole. It makes me wonder did the Queen mum have one short leg and one shorter leg?

Doug D Good spot. She's wearing a protective shoe because she'd cracked a small bone in her foot earlier that month.

Doug D said:
Thanks. I know I'd never seen that before and I'm a big fan of her and her family.

The car is a 1947 Daimler DE36 Limousine Landaulette, hence the open rear.
