The queen has always had a beautiful smile, so pretty, so comfortable

It was the first time I’ve seen the queen smiling and truly looking like she was having fun!

Probably the most beautiful video from the family. Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II & Princess Diana dancing. 😍😍

The Queen's voice is lovely...and I really liked the way she said " and I hope I have been"....

The QUEEN looks SO CALM AND ELEGANT EVEN WHEN SHE IS DANCING

Note her closing words. “I hope I have been trained right” She is very humble with just an element of self doubt. It’s made her so successful

I'm a fan Princess Anne. She marvels everywhere!

Happier times; it makes me cry and smile all at the same time.

The Queen has such a beautiful voice. What she says is so true about setting out to do something for life and dedicating yourself to that.

I just love watching this. Her Majesty smiling & dancing with Prince Philip ( RIP). It's so sweet to seeing them having fun.

I bet the Queen Mother was a party animal. Even at advanced age she was still throwing the moves on the dance floor :)

I've Always Loved the Queen's voice 💯... It is SO Calm & Soothing😊🌹💐🙏🏾💖

It is nice to see some of the old traditional dances still used. In my opinion, it is a shame that you don't see a lot of these dances anymore.

I just watched the Balmora scenes from the Netflix series "Crown" that came out today. There is a scene in episode one that was depicting this very event and I have to say that I am utterly impressed. Every little detail is captured from this footage, the clothes, the jewelry the music and the dancing.

It looked amazing. Love these traditions.

The queen is quite pretty when she is smiling and having fun
