Among their activities for the first day was a wreath-laying ceremony at Anitkabir, where the founder of the modern Turkish Republic Mustafa Kemal Ataturk has been laid to rest. The Queen took part in a review of the honor guard with Turkey’s President Abdullah Gul.

For this first day of the visit, The Queen wore a black skirt, coat and and hat accented with spring green. It seems that black is a color I don’t see often on her, but this outfit is very nicely put together.
