The Queen's favourite pony is to be rehomed following two decades of service to Her Majesty. Emma the fell pony was shown on television on Monday (September 19) as she watched the monarch's coffin travel to Windsor.

The 24-year-old black pony stood by the Long Walk, accompanied by head stud, Terry Pendry, 72, .as the coffin holding the Queen made its final journey to Windsor Castle yesterday. Mr Pendry had placed the Queen's Hermes scarf - which she often wore round her head while riding - across the saddle, reports MirrorOnline.

Emma stamped her foot once as the coffin approached. And Mr Pendry, 72, who worked for the Queen for 28 years, said that Emma is aware on some level that she will never ride with the Queen again.
