Lemurs celebrate long-serving Queen
The zoo's 13 lemurs were photographed waving the flag in honour of the Queen's long reign.
Patriotic lemurs have been pictured waving the Union Jack flag in honour of the Queen, after she became the UK's longest-serving monarch.
At 5.30pm on 9 September, Queen Elizabeth II had reigned for a staggering 23,226 days, 16 hours and around 30 minutes. She surpassed the previous record set by her great great grandmother, Queen Victoria.
To mark the occasion, the 13 lemurs at Drusillas Park in East Sussex were photographed waving Union Jack flags.
In the lemur world, it is the dominant female who rules so the group at Drusillas are used to having a matriarch.
Black lemur Clementine rules the roost at the zoo, reigning supreme over her family and nine ring-tailed lemurs. Nonetheless, she has a way to go before she matches up to Queen Elizabeth - she has so far been reigning for just over 2,100 days.
