The Queen is back riding her horse nine months after being told to quit, according to reports.
She is said to have been out for gentle trips in Windsor after recent mobility problems kept her from recent Jubilee events.
During her Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the Queen pledged to continue to serve as monarch “to the best of my ability supported by my family”.
Now, a Windsor Castle source has reportedly said: "The Queen has enjoyed being on her horse again.
"The Queen had missed her riding over these nine months.
"She had been able to whizz around the castle’s Quadrangle in her golf buggy to walk her corgis."
The source told The Sun that riding again is a 'wonderful' sign after recent health worries.
Royal fans were also delighted to see brand new pictures of the Queen being presented with a special award for her "unstinting service" over the past 70 years.
They showed Her Majesty standing without her walking stick as she was given the Canterbury Cross to recognise her contribution to the Church of England over her long reign.
The 96-year-old head of state held a face-to-face audience with the Archbishop of Canterbury at Windsor Castle this week to receive the award after missing Royal Ascot.
The Queen is hoping to set off on her travels next week despite suffering from ongoing mobility issues.
She is hoping to make her annual trip to Scotland for Holyrood Week but a decision will be taken closer to the time, Buckingham Palace has said.
The monarch is planning to be in residence at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh when other members of the royal family travel to Scotland en masse to carry out engagements between June 27 and July 1.
