Queen makes surprise appearance to open the Elizabeth Line

Queen Elizabeth II is on hand at London's Paddington station to officially open the newest Underground line named in her honour. Accompanied by her son Prince Edward, who was originally set to do the honour alone, she is applauded by Prime Minister Boris Johnson as she unveils a plaque marking the Elizabeth Line's opening. She appears in good spirits as she speaks to station staff and even tries her hand at topping up an Oyster card.
