"This is a fitting tribute at the end of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee year, and I am very proud to be able to announce it as she visits the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, we all owe so much to the Queen and this is the very least we could do to find a way to honour her for her outstanding service to us all" Mr Hague said.
At the cabinet meeting, the Queen sat in the PM's usual seat - with Mr Cameron and Mr Hague sat either side.
It is believed to be the first time a monarch has attended peace-time cabinet since George III in 1781. George I ceased to chair cabinet in 1717.
Her car, accompanied by motorcycle outriders, arrived shortly after 10:05 GMT.
Members of the cabinet had already arrived, while a man with a broom had swept the red carpet, laid in front of the door of Number 10 for the occasion.
Once inside, the Queen was introduced to each of the government's senior ministers in turn, as they bowed or curtseyed.
The Queen left the cabinet meeting with 60 table mats, safe in the knowledge that, once again in her long reign, she has made history.
She shared jokes with Chancellor George Osborne, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond, and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.

It doesn't say she was presented with them. Bet she nicked 'em.
According to the BBC... "Twice the size of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth Land is a strange, beautiful and dangerous world of towering mountains and infinite ice."
