Queen Elizabeth makes her first appearance since lockdown began

The Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth has made her first public appearance since lockdown in the UK began, on horseback.

The 94-year-old took Balmoral Fern, a 14-year-old fell pony, for a ride in the grounds of Windsor Castle, where she and the Duke of Edinburgh have been isolating.

She hasn’t stopped with official duties and delivered her message to the nation on VE Day last month, encouraging the country to “never give up, never despair”.
