Pictures: 900 horses in big show for Queen's 90th birthday
- Published
The Queen has celebrated her 90th birthday with a giant show featuring 900 horses - 10 for each of her years. She and the Duke of Edinburgh arrived to the pageant in a large horse-drawn royal carriage.
The show took place at Windsor Castle. Around 1,500 human riders and performers took part in a special parade that told the story of the Queen's life.
The Queen is a big fan of horses and has looked after them since she was a little girl. 600 of the performers were from the military and they gave the Queen a special birthday cheer.
The show even featured a pantomime-style performance of the Queen's famous corgi dogs - and a yak!
Popstars Kylie Minogue and Jess Glynne also sang during the special performances.
A giant birthday cake was brought out for the Queen at the end of the show. It was so large, it had to be pulled out using a car!
Happy Birthday Your Majesty! She certainly seemed to have a good time.
