A ride in one's own open top Range Rover, an underwater salute, that's all in a day's work. The proper military badge for the group at hand, that's all in a day's brooch.

Royal Engineers Association Reception

The Queen, Patron, Royal Engineers Association, gave a Reception to mark the Centenary of the Association at Windsor Castle.
In addition to celebrating their centenary, the Royal Engineers used this opportunity to present their patron with a Diamond Jubilee gift: a pair of park benches. You know, I think that might be one of the better (read: usable) Jubilee gifts I've read about.

Engagement and Wedding Rings 
I assume a watch was present as well, though I couldn't spot it under her sleeve.

Royal Engineers Badge

As she does with many other military groups, The Queen has a brooch version of the badge of the Corps of Royal Engineers (design seen above) to wear when visiting the corps. It appears to be rendered in diamonds and enamel (potentially).
The Queen is also patron of the Royal Engineers' Association, which has a similar badge; this brooch was previously identified on this site as the association badge.
