The first set of official portrait photographs of the Queen after her accession to the throne have been revealed - 60 years after the photographer who took them was sworn to secrecy.
Kenneth Clayton was a BBC photographer when he was commissioned by a royal portrait artist to take secret photos of the new Queen and her family in 1952. He was one of the first members of the public allowed into Buckingham Palace during the official period of mourning for King George VI.
Under the terms of his contract he was forbidden to release the images for 30 years - a promise he took so seriously he refused to release them at all during his lifetime.
