A lookalike of Britain's Queen Elizabeth drew in a crowd of thousands in China.
Elizabeth Richard - who has previously doubled as the monarch in videos for Sir Elton John and Blur - was mobbed by onlookers and wellwishers flying British flags in the stunt, which was organised by VisitBritain in a bid to encourage Chinese people to visit the UK.
Mark Di-Toro from VisitBritain told The Metro newspaper: "The Chinese are enthusiastic about Britain's heritage and culture anyway.
"We had anticipated a few hundred would attend but thousands of people ended up congregating as word spread about the queen. There was a surprise element of our impersonator arriving and fooling people for however long it took them to realise it was not the real queen.
"Chinese tourists are enchanted by the enriched culture and heritage in Britain. We want to show our Chinese visitors that there is an amazing range of places to see and things to do across the whole of Britain."
Shoppers at the Daning International Plaza were treated to cucumber sandwiches and cakes during the fake visit, where a Beatles tribute band also played.
