Queen Elizabeth has a reputation for being frugal and she lived up to it today, recycling a favourite outfit to wear to church on the fourth day of her Australian tour.
The thrifty 85-year-old monarch attended a special service at St John’s Anglican Church in Canberra wearing the same primrose yellow dress and coat she wore to Prince William and Middleton’s wedding in April.

She looked lovely in the summery ensemble as she enjoyed yet another day of spectacular weather in the country’s capital.
A select group of about 100 guests were invited to worship with Her Majesty, including former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
After the service, the queen and Prince Philip took time to greet well-wishers outside the church, accepting flowers from children and admiring their curtseys.

The royal couple then attended a private lunch at Government House where they dined on ocean trout and local fillet of beef paired with Australian wines.
Tomorrow the queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will visit Brisbane before returning to Canberra to visit the War Memorial on Tuesday.
Your say: Do you think more public figures should recycle their clothes instead of wearing everything only once?
