The longest-reigning monarch in British history now has her own knitted (and crocheted) doppelganger!

Made by Ellie Jarvis, the knitted and crocheted version of the Queen was revealed on the balcony of a small inn located in the North Devon fishing village of Clovelly. The unveiling coincided with the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations.
