Thinking about the Queen visiting Manchester, it occurred to me that she is probably the most painted and photographed woman in the world. To celebrate her visit, the diamond jubilee and portraits in general, I found some images of her. What must it feel like to pose for famous artists and photographers? To drop into a conversation, "I was talking to Freud today about dogs, while he painted my crown". Cool or what?
