Charlotte Dawson has posted a sweet photograph of the moment she met the late Queen Elizabeth when she was a young child. The 29 year old daughter of the late comedian Les Dawson posted a sweet newspaper clipping of herself as a youngster, dressed in her school uniform with a braid woven through her plaits as she clutched a bunch of yellow flowers and waited to meet the Queen on her Golden Jubilee in 2002.

Alongside the snap, Charlotte wrote: "I have the proper picture in storage with all my dad’s memorabilia I need to dig it out as I need to frame it & tell Noah [Charlotte's 19-month old son] how wonderful her majesty Our Queen Elizabeth II was. "I feel so honoured & proud that I was able to give her flowers I was so nervous and my mum tried to make me take my braid out my hair but I said no I think the queen will like it she was so lovely made me feel instantly calm… this is such a great loss to our country really won’t be the same." After the 6.30pm announcement of the Queen's passing, Charlotte took to Instagram to post a black and white throwback snap of her late father Les meeting the Queen in 1979.

Charlotte wrote: "What an amazing picture.. My dad with our beautiful majesty the Queen Elizabeth ll. "What a woman, such an incredible lady..

our country will not be the same without you. Back together with your prince & I know my dad will be making you giggle up there.
