Horses in Unexpected Places

Every year the Queen's birthday is celebrated with a salute. This year the guardsmen's impeccable red coats were soaked and their 'shiny' dress shoes muddy. In spite of the weather, two white horses led the Queen's open carriage - fortunately the rain held off until she was safely seated under a canopy. It was said that the monarch, "... marked the occasion with a low-key private celebration, a 41-gun salute in Hyde Park and 21 guns at the Tower of London." Doesn't sound especially 'low key' to us!
