Helen Mirren turns back the clock in colourful tunic and leggings

And yesterday Dame Helen Mirren proved once again why she was worthy of the honour.
The actress belied her pensionable age as she stepped out on the set of her new movie in a colourful tunic and leggings - which wouldn't looked out of place on a 20-year-old.

According to the New York Daily News, Miss Mirren received 17.7 per cent of the votes cast by 2,000 respondents to a survey by international gym chain LA Fitness.
Miss Mirren beat Elle Mapherson, Jennifer Lopez and Pippa Middleton to win the accolade.
Speaking to the newspaper, LA Fitness spokesman Tony Orme said: 'It's great to see the public celebrating bodies of all shapes and sizes, and proving that you really can look fabulous over 40 and 50.'

Miss Mirren plays Linda Kenney Baden in the Phil Spector movie, Spector's long-time lawyer and supporter, in the biopic, which stars Al Pacino as the former record producer who is now serving a prison sentence for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson.
The film is understood to be sympathetic to the former Beatles producer and claims he was wrongly jailed for murder.
Miss Mirren agreed to star in the movie despite being threatened with awards snubs and worse for refusing to pull out of the film.
