Multiple pictures and videos of the Queen were also shared by the Buckingham Palace's communications team on social media.

Daily Express's Royal Editor shared a video of the Queen pulling "a perfect pint of Guinness" during her visit to the pub.

According to Emily Ferguson, the Queen  was given a round of applause as she held up the “superb” pint at The Parson’s Nose in Hillsborough.

“It’s a bit early to drink. I’ll leave it here until later,” Queen Camilla is heard saying jokingly in the video shared by Ferguson.
