The Queen’s dogs, Moic and Sandy, who are Welsh corgis, waited in the paddock at Windsor Castle as the hearse arrived while two members of staff tended to them. Royal corgis await the cortege.

It has been confirmed that Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will look after the corgis. Andrew was later seen hanging out with the dogs. The Queen was first given a corgi when she was seven, and generations of royal corgis trace back to Susie, a corgi given to her when she was 18. Also on display was the Queen’s Fell pony, Carltonlima Emma, who was led to the side of the road in a gap between the floral tributes as the coffin passed.

The Queen was patron of the Fell Pony Society and continued to ride Emma into her 90s. The pony carried one of the monarch’s handkerchiefs.

Heads of state were reportedly somewhat surprised at the funeral of King Edward VII in 1910 when they found themselves behind the monarch’s dog, Caesar, a wire fox terrier, in the official procession. Caesar is included in a sculpture of Edward VII and his queen above their tomb in St George’s Chapel, where Queen Elizabeth II’s ceremony took place on Monday.
