The Queen was all smiles today as she soaked up the atmosphere at one of her favourite equestrian events of the year in the private grounds of Windsor Castle.

Flanked by aides, the 92-year-old monarch could be seen beaming with joy as she watched the action at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in Berkshire on Wednesday, just a stone's throw from where the royal wedding will take place next weekend.

Sporting a decidedly off-duty ensemble, the Queen swapped formal attire for a powder blue cardigan, white blouse and tweed skirt, carrying one of her many trusty patent handbags from Launer.

The annual equestrian spectacular sees competitors taking part in a range of events from show jumping to dressage, along with displays from The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery and DAKS Pony Club.

Her Majesty was later seen holding a pink rosette after one of her horses finished fifth, but even that did little to dampen her spirits
