Queen Elizabeth's head groom Terry Pendry has revealed his pride in taking the late monarch's favourite horse Emma to say a final goodbye to her at Windsor Castle.
In scenes viewed around the world, the horse greeted the late Queen as the royal hearse arrived in Windsor during her state funeral on Monday (19.

The groom – who attended the committal service at St George's Chapel – said: "It was an honour and privilege to have Emma with me to say goodbye to Her Majesty for the last time.
