Queen Elizabeth II showed off her sword skills, using one to cut a cake at an event during the Group of Seven (G7) Summit in Cornwall.
The 95-year-old British monarch, who was with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge during the summit reception on Friday, insisted on using a ceremonial sword to cut the cake despite an aide telling her there was a knife available.
"I know there is. This is something more unusual," the queen said, drawing laughter from the crowd.
