Mike Tindall spotted with kids and Princess Anne to support Zara at festival

Mike Tindall has been spotted with his three children as they support wife and mum Zara at the Festival of British Eventing today.

The former England rugby player, 43, had his hands full with daughters Mia, eight, and Lena, four, as well as son Lucas, one, at Gatcombe Park.

An uncommonly dressed down Princess Anne, 71, also joined her son-in-law and grandchildren for the event held on the Princess Royal's estate.

Mike and the kids cheered on British equestrian Zara, 41, yesterday as she competed on horseback during the festival's opening day.

The 6ft2in ex-centre - in a white t-shirt and blue cap - was snapped playfully tossing a delighted Lucas into the air.

In another picture, the mischievous tot was seen pointing one way as his grandmother - dressed in beige trousers and hat - pointed the other.

Lucas was dressed in a bright blue t-shirt and navy shorts, and was also seen at one stage in a bucket-type hat as he sucked on a dummy in his dad's arms.

Mike also enjoyed a ride on a ferris wheel in the grounds with Lena who opted for a pink t-short and red trainers.

Mia was equally low-key in a navy top and denim shorts, as well as a stylish cap, sunglasses and grey trainers.

Zara was beaming as she rode a white horse wearing the number 206.

Princess Anne designed the course herself, as the two-day event marks its 28th year.

It encompasses dressage, show jumping and different cross-country phases.

On Friday, Mia joined her parents for the opening and was seen enjoying an ice cream while dancing around the grounds.
