Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh channels the Fab Four as she poses up a storm on the Beatles' famed Abbey Road cover crossing

The Duchess of Edinburgh excitedly paid homage to the Beatles - as she posed on the iconic crossing featured on the Fab Four's album, Abbey Road.

Sporting a stunning red dress, Sophie, 59, channelled the iconic musicians in snaps, as she arrived at the venue for an Orbis Visionaries Reception - in her role as Global Ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.

The King's sister-in-law teamed her frock - which featured elegant flowy sleeves and buttons - with beige stiletto heels and a leather clutch.

She styled her blonde tresses back, keeping the make-up natural and dewy for the event.

It's been a busy month for the Duchess, who last week enjoyed a sampling of tasty treats as she attended the Field to Food Learning Day at the Bath and West Show Ground.

Sophie was all smiles as she tucked into fresh produce at the event in Shepton Mallet during her visit to Somerset.

She appeared in high spirits while walking around the stalls that showed the local region's best selections, including ciders and jams.

One snap saw her marvelling over a tub of fresh apples. In another, she and a group of young children looked at a selection of herbs and grains.

Elsewhere the royal also got to see a bee hive and some sheep in a pen. 

Sophie opted for a chic navy coat with golden buttons for the outing, which was belted at the waist.

She teamed her look with an elegant blue scarf and carried a brown leather clutch. The mother-of-two threw her blonde tresses back in an up-do and opted for a simple make-up look with dark eyes and a dusky pink lip.

Sophie has served as Patron of the Association of Show & Agricultural Organisations since 2012. 

Later in the day, Sophie travelled Balgdon in north Somerset to visit the Yeo Valley Farm – the location behind a string of popular diary products sold in UK supermarkets.

The Duchess chatted with the Head Gardener at Yeo Valley Holt Farm, Sarah Mead. The pair admired Sarah's work, including an eye-catching tulip display.

Last month, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh got stuck into the task at hand as they visited Right Stuff Amateur Boxing Club in Staffordshire today.

Accompanied by her husband Edward, 59, Sophie, chatted with staff at the club, which strives to tackle youth crime and anti-social behaviour by engaging young people.

The couple chatted with team members and witnessed the children in action - and Edward even took part in a sparring session with a young boxer.

As the aspiring athlete honed her skills, Edward held the punching bag steady so she could take aim - and appeared to give her words of support during the exercise. 

Looking typically elegant, the late Queen's daughter-in-law opted for a stylish brown coat and matching suede boots while clutching onto a chic leather Isabel Marant bag. 

The Duchess styled her blonde tresses in a bun and wore a glam face of make-up, accentuating her eyes with dark mascara and eye shadow.

Adding a touch of glitz to her outfit, the mother-of-two sported a gold necklace with a paper clip charm.

Matching his wife with a relaxed formal ensemble, Edward opted for a tweed blazer, lilac shirt, and brown corduroy trousers.
