A walking stick gifted to the Queen by the British Army to mark the Platinum Jubilee was handcrafted in Cumbria.

The monarch was seen with it when she appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour, at the start of the four-day celebrations.

Traditional stick maker Dennis Wall, from Ulverston, said his creation had a handle of local Herdwick ram's horn on a shank made from mottled hazel.

He was "immensely proud" to see it being held on the balcony.

The stick was one of 10 commissioned by the Army and presented for the Queen to choose the one she wanted.

Once it was selected it was returned to Mr Wall for "some minor alterations to be done which she had specified herself".

To kick of the Jubilee celebrations, The Queen favoured a stag horn mobility aid as she enjoyed the first of the jubilee celebrations at Windsor Castle for the Royal Windsor Horse Show. She used the same cane in March at an official engagement at her Windsor Castle home.

Such walking sticks are usually used to blend into natural surroundings when walking outdoors.

The Queen has been spotted with Philip’s trusty stick on many occasions since his death aged 99.

In February, she met estate workers, volunteers and members of the local Women’s Institute in her first public engagement for more than three months.

The monarch is thought to have taken to using the stick during her stay at Wood Farm, the cottage on the Sandringham estate where the Duke spent his retirement.

Though she walked largely unaided, the Queen carried Philip’s trusty stick as she met estate workers, volunteers and members of the local Women’s Institute in her first public engagement for more than three months.

The 95-year-old monarch is thought to have taken to using the stick during her stay at Wood Farm, the cottage on the Sandringham estate where the Duke spent his retirement.

She had previously been seen using a walking stick in 2003 and 2004 after a knee operation, but it is thought to be the first time she has used one for comfort and not for a specific medical reason.

The cobbled and uneven surface outside the abbey is thought to have played a part in the decision to use the walking stick.
