<p>The couple married at London&rsquo;s Westminster Abbey on November&nbsp;20, 1947, just two years after the end of World War Two, in a lavish ceremony attended by statesmen and royalty from around the world.</p>

<p>The portrait, taken earlier this month, showed the queen wearing the same dress which she chose for a service of thanksgiving to mark their diamond wedding anniversary held at the Abbey where they were married.</p>

<p>She is also wearing a &ldquo;Scarab&rdquo; brooch in yellow gold, carved ruby, and diamond which Philip gave her in 1966.</p>

<p>Elizabeth has been married for far longer than any other royal, and the newly-released picture showed the couple framed by Thomas Gainsborough&rsquo;s 1781 portraits of George III and Queen Charlotte, who were married for 57 years - the second-longest royal marriage.</p>
