After the emotional scenes aired, people flocked to social media, to share their heartbreak with one penning: “Emma, The Queen’s horse, brought out to watch her Monarch pass by. That brought a lump to my throat.”
“Looked like she curtsied! Lifted her front leg up & back,” said a second.
Before a third commented: “Oh dear me, between this and the corgis waiting for her I’m in tears – yet again.”

The Queen’s head groom Terry Pendry, writing in Horse & Hound magazine in 2020, said: “[Emma] has been a wonderful servant to Her Majesty and is still going strong at the age of 24 as one of the Queen’s riding ponies.”
An estimated 4 billion people tuned in for the state funeral of the late Queen as royals and dignitaries from across the globe flocked to London.
Following a ceremony at Westminster Abbey, the sovereign was transported by the state hearse, specifically designed by her to Windsor.
While her coffin was seen being lowered into the Royal Vault, members of the family held a private ceremony in St George’s Chapel later on in the evening for a private burial.
