Queen Elizabeth was all smiles as she spent the day in Chichester, in the southern English county of West Sussex.

Dressed in her signature style of coat-dress and a matching hat, the 91-year old royal looked as elegant as always in pale pink pastel hues, accentuated with pearls, a diamond brooch, black gloves and a black handbag.

Her first visit was to a canine charity that assists those with disabilities to enjoy a greater independence through the provision of specially trained dogs.

The dogs are trained to do everyday tasks such as, opening doors, picking up dropped items and even unloading the washing machine, noted The Royal Family Instagram post.

The Queen made new furry friends, even receiving a posy from Yarna, an enthusiastic black Labrador.  

Next stop, was a visit to the Chichester Festival Theatre.

According to the Chichester Observer, a huge crowd turned out to see Her Majesty, who was treated to a 30-minute production by 70 members of the Chichester Festival Youth Theatre, as well as two songs from their production of the musical, Fiddler on the Roof.

The theatre is the largest regional youth theatre with over 800 members across Sussex.

Later in the day, the Queen met members of the adoring public, before being escorted to another theatre for lunch.
