Rare Candid Photos Of The Queen

Very rare, and candid childhood photos of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England are to be auctioned off.

It is hard for me a child of the 70s to even imagine our Queen this young!

According the the BBC a collection of pictures from an album which belonged to Sidney Cumper, a footman and page to Queen Mary, the present Queen's grandmother, is being put up for sale. The pictures will be sold by auctioneers Reeman Dansie and are expected to fetch more than £600.

You can view more samples including a vintage one of the Queen in bell bottoms on the BBC website.
