The Queen owned Emma for over 26 years, making her presence during the funeral proceedings particularly special.
Emma, known to be one of the Queen's favorite horses, played a key part in the Queen's passion for riding and Her Majesty was known to enjoy rides around the grounds of Windsor Castle even in the final years of her life.
The Queen famously owned over 30 Corgis in her lifetime and two of her most recent pups, named Muick and Sandy, also stood on the forecourt of Windsor Castle to mark the arrival of her coffin.
It has been confirmed that Sandy and Muick will be adopted by Prince Andrew and his ex wife, Sarah Ferguson, in light of the Queen's passing and will be cared for at Royal Lodge.
