The Queen has visited a school in Norfolk as she marks the 60th anniversary of her accession to the throne.
The Queen was met by well-wishers after she visited Dersingham Infant and Nursery School, in Norfolk
Earlier she said she was dedicating herself "anew to your service" and that she was "deeply moved" by support for the Diamond Jubilee.
The Queen was met by crowds at King's Lynn Town Hall before going to Dersingham Infant and Nursery School.
Gun salutes were held around the UK, including in London and Edinburgh.
The main celebrations for her anniversary will be in June.
The Queen, 85, usually spends Accession Day - the day her father, George VI, died in 1952 - privately but this year has the two engagements in Norfolk.
Two official photographs were released and a 41-gun salute was held in Hyde Park, London, followed by a 62-gun salute at the Tower of London.
Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne on 6th February 1952 following the death of her father, King George VI. Her Coronation took place on 2nd June 1953.
