As millions of people across the UK mourn the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the public are witnessing the monarchy in all their pomp and grandure.
But behind the all the ceremony and lengthy titles thrown round in the past week, it's sometimes hard to see members of the Royal Family for what they are at the end of the day, a family.
And as loving family tend to do they developed their own nicknames for each other over the years.
The affection her relatives felt for Queen Elizabeth II, is shown in the number of nicknames she had.
The Queen herself was known by her close family as "Lilibet".
A name which stemmed from when she was much younger and struggled to pronounce Elizabeth.
Lilibet stuck and was even used by her late husband Prince Philip.
The Duke of Edinburgh had a handful of other nicknames he would use including the some what ridiculous "cabbage".
Although it's not clear where this nickname came from, some have suggested it stemmed from the French phrase of endearment "mon petit chou", which means "my little cabbage".
Royal author Robert Lacey once told the Sunday Times: "Yes, I've heard that is how he will sometimes refer to her."
Another hilarious name for the Queen was coined by Prince William and Prince Harry in their younger years - "Gary".
The Daily Mail reported that it came from a time when a young William was playing at Buckingham Palace.
When he fell over, rather than calling his "Granny" to come and help, he accidentally said "Gary".
Columnist Richard Kay wrote: “A guest who went to help asked who Gary was, assuming it must be a member of the royal household.
"'I’m Gary,’ responded the Queen. He hasn’t learned to say Granny yet'."
William's son Prince George came up with another nickname - calling the Queen "Gan-Gan", the Princess of Wales once revealed.
In a 2016 interview, she said: "George is only two-and-a-half and he calls her Gan-Gan."
Both her grandsons have paid touching tributes to the Queen over the past week.
Harry said: "Her unwavering grace and dignity remained true throughout her life and now her everlasting legacy.
"Let us echo the words she spoke after the passing of her husband, Prince Philip, words which can bring comfort to all of us now: 'Life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings.'
"Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings-from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren."
Meanwhile, William thanked his grandmother for her support.
The new Prince of Wales said: "So much will be said in the days ahead about the meaning of her historic reign.
"I, however, have lost a grandmother. And while I will grieve her loss, I also feel incredibly grateful.
"I have had the benefit of The Queen's wisdom and reassurance into my fifth decade.
"She was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life.
"I knew this day would come, but it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real.
"I thank her for the kindness she showed my family and me.
"And I thank her on behalf of my generation for providing an example of service and dignity in public life that was from a different age, but always relevant to us all."
