Photos taken by Lord Lichfield at Shugborough estate

A new exhibition featuring iconic images of the Queen has gone on show at Staffordshire's Shugborough estate.

Images taken by the late Lord Patrick Lichfield are now on public display at the ancestral home. Staff say the display offers a chance to mark Elizabeth II's 60 years as Queen with some very personal royal mementoes.

Among them will be a captivating selection of photographs of the Queen taken by Lord Lichfield, who is famous for his royal portraits and celebrity shots.

Along with the images taken by the 5th Earl of Lichfield, the cousin of the Queen, there will be a special exhibition featuring the magnificent robes worn by his grandparents at the Queen's Coronation.

The exhibition runs until June 30 and there is also a section of historic 50s attire from the Coronation years in the estate's Victorian Servants' Quarters offering visitors a chance to find out more about Britain's last Diamond Jubilee.

Lord Lichfield lived in the impressive Georgian mansion, the ancestral home of the Earls of Lichfield, from his birth until 1939 before he returned to live in newly created private apartments from 1966. He died in 2005.
