A signed photograph of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip has been found among souvenirs in the treasure-filled room of ousted Syrian leader Bashar al Assad.
According to foreign media, rebel fighters discovered the photo in the so-called "Palace of the People" of the dictator in the center of the Syrian capital Damascus, writes A2 CNN.
The photo is hand-signed and dated 2002 - the same year Assad and his wife visited the royal family at Buckingham Palace.
The visit came two years after Assad took office as Syria's president, before he was betrayed by his brutal crackdown on the pro-democracy protests of the 2011 Arab Spring and the civil war that followed.
Other memorabilia found in the treasure-filled room included gold and silver shields, jewelry and artwork, boxes and a FIFA Youth World Cup award, CNN reported. (A2 Televizion)
