David Bailey's portrait of Queen to mark birthday
"A portrait of the Queen by British photographer David Bailey has been released in honour of her 88th birthday on Monday.
The black and white photo, which shows the Queen smiling, was taken in March.
She is pictured wearing pearls, and a dress by Angela Kelly, who has served as personal assistant and senior dresser to her since 2002.
Mr Bailey has previously snapped celebrities such as Mick Jagger, and criminals Ronnie and Reggie Kray.
The Queen celebrates her actual birthday on 21 April, and her official birthday on a Saturday in June, which this year falls on 14 June in the UK.
'Mischievous glint'The photograph, taken at Buckingham Palace, was commissioned on behalf of the government's "Great" campaign, which aims to promote trade, tourism, investment and education throughout the UK."

Extract from the novel :
"Lick your lips, Griet."
I licked my lips.
"Leave your mouth open."
I was so surprised by this request that my mouth remained open of its own will. I blinked back tears. Virtuous women did not open their mouths in paintings.Girl With a Pearl Earring

Songwriters Behind 'Frozen' Let Go Of The Princess Mythology
The song "Let it go" won an oscar / HOW DID THEY COME UP WITH THE IDEA?
If you have young children, you may know by heart the songs from the Disney animated musical Frozen, including its massively ubiquitous "Let It Go." The songwriting team behind the Oscar-winning hit is Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, a married couple with two children who each sing on the soundtrack.
Robert Lopez co-wrote the satirical Broadway musicals Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon, which is now touring. He is now an EGOT, the acronym for the select few who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. Together, the two also wrote the songs for the 2011 Disney animated musical Winnie the Pooh. They tell Fresh Air's Terry Gross about the inspiration for the songs from Frozen, including "Let It Go" and a "very strong strike across the bow at all princess-myth things" song that didn't make the film.
