The ‘Queen’ spotted canvassing for Ukip in Bromley has sparked a social media storm.
Twitter user Calum (@CalumSPlath) posted the picture online yesterday (March 29) of what looks remarkably like Her Majesty handing out campaigning literature in the town centre.
MORE TOP STORIES Since uploading the image, it went viral and has been retweeted nearly 5,000 times.
Emmet Jenner, Ukip candidate for Bromley and Chislehurst, says the snap was taken on Saturday (March 28) when the party set up a stall along the High Street.
Mr Jenner said: “She’s a branch member, we know all about her.
“I think she may have been an actor filling in for the queen before.
“Obviously she looks like her, otherwise people wouldn’t have retweeted it. It’s quite funny.”
