The royal corgis made a poignant appearance outside Windsor during the Queen's funeral - but they broke an unwritten protocol when appearing in public. Throughout the Queen's 70-year reign, the royal dogs have almost always been walked on red leads - but, on the day of her funeral, one was seen in red while the other was in blue.
It is thought Her Majesty's corgis and dorgis would typically wear red to match the uniforms worn by many of the Queen's Guards - or to tie in with the national colours - red, white and blue. However, not all of the Royal Guards wear red as the Oxford forces, also known as The Royal Regiment of Horse, continue to wear blue uniforms, earning them the nickname 'the Blues'.
