A big smile.

A never-before-seen portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was revealed late Sunday night by British Crown services.

This publication comes on the eve of the sovereign's funeral.

The snap was taken last spring, shortly before Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee, celebrating her seventy-year reign. 

Elizabeth II, very smiling in this portrait, wears two brooches offered by her father, King George VI.

According to

Le Parisien

, these jewels were among her favorites, and came from a French jeweler.

Ahead of Her Majesty The Queen's State Funeral, a new photograph has been released.



The photo was taken to mark Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee - the first British Monarch to reach this milestone.



Tomorrow, millions will come together to commemorate her remarkable life.
