Queen Elizabeth II's beloved fell pony named Emma played a poignant part in the late monarch's funeral proceedings.
- Queen Elizabeth II's fell pony named Emma was captured watching on as the late monarch's coffin made its way to St George's Chapel in Windsor on the day of her funeral.
- The long-reigning sovereign's beloved pet had one of Her Majesty's headscarves draped across her back in a moving tribute.
- This royal news comes after Princess Charlotte's sweet words to Prince George at the Queen's funeral were revealed.
After Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral took place at Westminster Abbey in London, Her Majesty's coffin made its final journey to Windsor Castle where it was driven up the Long Walk for a second service at St George's Chapel.
The Queen's much-loved Corgis, Muick and Sandy, watched on as the coffin made its way past, while her fell pony Emma was joined on the sidelines with the Queen's head groom, Terry Pendry.
In a sweet nod to Her Majesty's love for Emma, one of her headscarves was placed on her saddle.

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.
