More than 70 corgis have gathered on the lawn of one of the Queen's royal residences as part of celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee. The dogs, the Queen’s favourite breed, enjoyed a walk in the grounds of Balmoral Castle with their owners before posing for photos in the grounds.
The event in Aberdeenshire, organised by the Corgi Society of Scotland and the UK Corgi Club, brought together dozens of Cardigan Welsh and Pembroke Welsh corgis. The castle is the 19th Century holiday home where the Queen and members of the Royal Family spend their traditional holidays between August and September each year.
The Queen has owned more than 30 Corgis and Dorgis – a cross between a corgi and a dachshund – during her reign. Most of the dogs been descended from her first corgi, Susan, who was gifted to the future Queen on her 18th birthday in 1944.
