Amanda Holden joined those paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in Windsor the day before her funeral.
The late monarch – who died at Balmoral aged 96 on September 8 – is being laid to rest in her state funeral with dignitaries, world leaders, members of the Royal Family and celebrities in attendance at Westminster Abbey.
On Sunday (September 18), Amanda and her family stepped out at Windsor Castle to join mourners paying their respects to the Queen.
In a series of photos shared on her Instagram Story, the Britain’s Got Talent host was seen leaving flowers.
The 51-year-old star also posted a snap of herself with her family as they walked through the town.
Amanda had paid tribute to the Queen on her social media platforms when the news of her death first broke, hailing her ‘indomitable spirit’ and admitting she’s struggling to imagine a reality of life ‘without her’.
