Amanda Holden visits Windsor Castle with mum and daughters to pay respects to The Queen

Amanda Holden was amongst the crowds that gathered at Windsor Castle on Sunday to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The 51-year-old was accompanied by her mother, Judith, two daughters Alexa, 16, and Hollie, 10, as she joined thousands of fellow mourners to lay flowers in her memory.

While there, the Britain's Got Talent judge laid a beautiful floral tribute next to the castle's gates and captured the moment before sharing it on her Instagram story.

The star later updated her story further to include more snaps taken from outside the castle and a video of the family walking through the town of Windsor itself.

A day earlier, meanwhile, Amanda praised the "forever friendships" made by mourners who were queueing for hours to pay their respects to the Queen lying in state.

The radio host said that it was a "privilege" to talk to members of the public who faced 11-hour queues this weekend.

Wearing a lilac dress and tailored blazer, the 51-year-old gazed at Westminster Hall - where the Queen's coffin has been open for public viewing.

"My privilege to talk to some of you queuing and coming out of Westminster Hall this morning. The atmosphere and camaraderie was incredible .. friendships forged forever in shared grief .." she captioned the video.

Amanda also took the time out to pay her respects outside Buckingham Palace on September 9 - the day after the Queen's passing.

She cut a sombre figure as she walked among the crowd who were lining the streets of The Mall to pay tribute to Her Majesty.

Amanda made the visit after presenting her Heart Radio Breakfast show in the capital, which is just a stone's throw away from the royal residence.

Sharing a photo of the Queen sitting on the throne, she wrote: "I think we all thought our Queen would live forever…

"Her grace, good humour and indomitable spirit.. embodied everything that made Great Britain , Great . I just can’t imagine our country without her...

"My thoughts are with her family #godsavethequeen."
