Queen's delight after winning Tesco voucher at Royal Windsor Horse Show

Updated

The Queen proved every little helps as she beamed upon being presented with a Tesco voucher at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

The monarch appeared delighted as she was handed the gift card after her horse Barber's Shop won the RoR Tattersalls Thoroughbred Ridden Show Horse Championship at the event on Thursday.

She attended the annual show in the grounds of Windsor Castle wearing a floral headscarf, a blue cardigan under a dark blue quilted gilet and a long grey checkered skirt.

The Royal Windsor Horse Show, which will host one of the main celebrations for the Queen's 90th birthday across the four-day event, had been affected by bad weather.

A waterlogged car park forced the cancellation of the preview performance on Wednesday, but the sun was shining as the main equine eventing got under way on Thursday.

On Sunday, the Queen will attend an evening of music and equestrian displays featuring performers from countries including Oman, Chile, New Zealand, Canada, Fiji, Australia, Azerbaijan and the UK.

The event will celebrate her life and love of horses.
