She's a fashion Queen: Letizia stuns as Spanish royals pay tribute to fallen military heroes at the country's Armed Forces Day
Fashionista Queen Letizia led the tributes and celebrations as thousands of people gathered in the centre of Madrid today for Armed Forces Day in Spain.
King Felipe VI was dressed in full air force uniform alongside the glamorous Queen Letizia, who wore a black and white suit jacket, as they paid tribute to their fallen servicemen in the Spanish capital.
Shouts of 'Long live the King' and 'Viva Espana' could be heard from the crowd. A smaller group also whistled as the queen walked by.
When they arrived, the Spanish royals were welcomed by Defense Minister, Pedro Morenés, and the chiefs of defence, army, navy and air force.

After the official ceremony, there was a parade, featuring the navy, Civil Guards and Royal Guards, to conclude the celebrations which cost a total of 140,000 euros.
Armed Forces Day in Spain started as a purely military celebration in 1978.
But that year it was decided to celebrate the holiday near May 30 to honor King Ferdinand III of Castille, whose death anniversary is observed on this day. Ferdinand is remembered for his military accomplishments.
