She's had a busy week of engagements in Scotland, but nothing can keep the Queen away from the Royal Windsor Horse Show, said to be Her Majesty's favourite event of the year.
The monarch, 95, jetted back from Scotland yesterday to attend the show in the afternoon and this morning, she was seen arriving first thing so as not to miss any of the action.
Eager to get to the grounds, the Queen was seen driving herself to the course in her Range Rover, accompanied by a female friend and security guards.
Dressed in more casual attire than usual for the occasion, she wore a navy padded gilet over her smart white shirt, teamed with a grey checked skirt.
