A collection of gifts the Queen has received from Commonwealth countries is to go on display as part of the countdown to the Glasgow 2014 Games.
More than 70 presents, such as tapestries, portraits, porcelain plaques and even a pair of canoes, that have been given to mark royal visits and jubilees are part of the collection at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
The Queen has visited almost all Commonwealth countries during her reign, including a 40,000-mile tour encompassing the West Indies, Australasia, Asia and Africa between November 1953 and May 1954 to mark her coronation.
She started the Commonwealth baton relay last year in London, sending it on a trip of all 53 Commonwealth countries before the Games begin in Glasgow this summer. The baton used to celebrate the Manchester Games in 2002 forms part of the Holyroodhouse display.
Other items on display from the Royal Collection Trust include a shell collage from the Bahamas, an Inuit wall hanging, a Botswanan tapestry, and a portrait by an artist from Papua New Guinea titled "Missis Kwin", which translates as "Mrs Queen".
Gifts presented to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee are also displayed for the first time, such as a pair of model catamaran-style canoes received by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on behalf of the Queen during their visit to the Pacific Island of Tuvalu in 2012.
Deborah Clarke, curator at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, said: "The Queen has visited almost every country in the Commonwealth and has received many unique objects from around the world.
"In the year that the Games come to Scotland, it seemed very fitting to mark Her Majesty's role as Head of the Commonwealth and to display these gifts at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen's official residence in Scotland."
The Commonwealth: Gifts to The Queen opens on Friday for eight months.
