The Queen proved to be a good sport when comedian Omid Djalili cracked a joke about her missing the State Opening of Parliament last week.
Last night, the monarch attended the Gallop Through History event at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, which was broadcast on ITV.
However, comedian Omid, who hosted the celebration, couldn't resist a cheeky joke about the fact the Queen was in the crowd despite asking her son, Prince Charles, to step in for her at the Government event earlier this week.
She was forced to pull out at the last minute due to mobility issues but reportedly watched on TV from the comfort of her Windsor Castle home.
Closing the show last night, which included 1,300 performers and 500 horses, Omid said: "Thank you to the Great British public who have shown up tonight, in the back there, wearing comfortable shoes and light rain-wear."
He then went on to thank the guest of honour, but his comment raised a few eyebrows.
He said: "Your Royal Highness, on behalf of everyone here we would like to thank you, very humbly, for picking us over the State Opening of Parliament.

"You did the right thing, and I won £5 in a bet with my local kebab shop owner in Ipswich."
But some on social media were quick to point out that while making his joke, the comedian actually made a glaring error when addressing the Queen.
The correct way to address her is by using 'Your Majesty' and not 'Your Royal Highness'.
One person wrote on Twitter : "It's a damn shame Omid Djalili didn't learn how to address Her Majesty the Queen...'Your Majesty' not 'Your Royal Highness'!!!"
Another said: "Great show but you demoted The Queen to Your Royal Highness!!"
While another pointed out: "The Queen is addressed as YOUR MAJESTY not "Your Royal Highness". Who wrote your script?"
However, despite the error, Omid's joke was met with applause from the audience, and thankfully when the camera panned to the Queen it showed she'd also enjoyed the comment.
She was seen giving a very subtle smile before raising her arm in the air.
He then went on to thank the hosts and presenters who made the night a huge success.
Viewers loved the moment, with some dubbing it the best moment of the evening.
One wrote: "Best moment of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration concert! When Omid Djalili said “thank you for choosing us over the State Opening of Parliament your Majesty”; the Queen smiled & waived! Priceless."
Another added: "Haha The Queen just raised her hand in agreement about choosing the #platinumjubilee over the state opening of Parliament. Love it!"
