Queen Elizabeth II was 'sharp as a tack' when she spoke with her horse trainer just two days before her tragic death.
Her Majesty long held an affinity for horses and was often described as being 'at her happiest' at the races.
Touching footage of the Queen looking elated as she celebrated her filly Estimate winning the 2013 Ascot Gold Cup surfaced in the wake of her death, highlighting how much joy the sport - and the animals - brought her.
An hour before Boris Johnson arrived at her Balmoral estate to resign and hand the reigns of government over to Liz Truss on Tuesday, the monarch spoke at length with Clive Cox.
Mr Cox is responsible for several of the Queen's 50 racehorses, including her filly Love Affairs, who won at Goodwood race track on September 6 and became the final winner of her long career as a racehorse owner.
