Mulberry Hued Tweed and Philip Somerville Hat

This is an outfit that dates back quite some time, with a coat of mulberry tweed with hidden buttons and a matching hat by Philip Somerville, sporting a geometric black ribbon detailing. The dress has a paisley print in coordinating shades.
The Queen wore it to the Commonwealth Observance service at Westminster Abbey on 10 March 2003, with the City of London Lily brooch:

 
On 4 October 2005, the Queen repeated this look, complete with City of London Lily brooch, for a visit to Aberdeen Children's Hospital:
 

 
The Queen chose to forgo the hat, opting instead for a silk scarf in coordinating colours, when she attended the Chelsea Flower Show on 22 May 2006. The Jardine Star brooch completed the look:
 


A few months later, on 6 October 2006, the Queen repeated this look to review three Home Service Battalions of the Royal Irish Regiment at the Balmoral showgrounds in Belfast, Northern Ireland (The Daily Telegraph has an article on the engagement here). The Queen wore her Amethyst Bouquet brooch:



On 23 February 2007, the Queen visited Moorfields Eye Hospital in London to open the new Children's Eye Centre and the Drapers' Company in the City of London, choosing the Drapers' Company badge, a brooch with their coat of arms:


 
Incidentally, a huge Garfield soft toy was present at Moorfields (seen below is Peter Andre watching his son Junior play at the event). I just had to include a photo here as I'm a huge Garfield fan! :)


On 29 November 2007, the Queen repeated this look for a visit to Milton Keynes, where she visited the newly-built The Hub, a mixed-use development with a central piazza. One of Queen Victoria's bow brooches was used:


 
On 3 November 2009, the Queen selected this outfit for a visit to the London 2012 Olympic Park construction site in Stratford, East London (below, Her Majesty with Mayor of London Boris Johnson). She accessorized her look with the Kent Amethyst brooch:
 

 
On 8 January 2012, the Queen repeated this look for the traditional Sunday morning church service at St Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham Estate, topping it off with the Amethyst Bouquet brooch:
