Thanks once again for the photos iceflower, I love our Queen I was 5 when she was crowned and have such vivid memories of seeing her Coronation at the picture theatre , I thought Charles and Anne were the luckiest children in the world to have the Queen as their mother

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II takes advantage of the warm winter
sun and rides in the Castle grounds, on the return of the Royal
Court to Windsor Castle, in Windsor, UK on February 16, 2008.

I can't say why, but I always like to see those pics of the Queen
riding - again and again

Those are two beautiful horses. I love to see the Queen out riding, it shows the natural side pf her, although I think she might be a little annoyed at the camera.

Lexi, there's a thread about the Queen's brooches over in Royal Jewels. You might find some information there.
