In pictures: Candid photos of Queen

A collection of pictures from an album which belonged to Sidney Cumper, a footman and page to Queen Mary, the present Queen's grandmother, is being put up for sale.

The pictures will be sold by auctioneers Reeman Dansie and are expected to fetch more than £600.

The Queen's nanny Margaret MacDonald features in some of the pictures - she was known by the nickname Bobo.

The auctioneers believe there is a growing market for Royal memorabilia following an earlier auction of possessions belonging to one of the Queen Mother's servants.

A picture of the Duke of Edinburgh, dating back to sometime in the 1940s, is being included in the sale. Prince Philip is seen larking about with his family in Milford Haven.

A number of images of the Queen as a child are being included in the lot.

Some of the pictures also feature Princess Margaret, the Queen's late sister.

A 1970s image of the Queen in a pair of the flared trousers is one of the centrepieces of the collection.
