The crowd cheered for the smiling Queen who was accompanied by her son, the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward, as she walked to take her seat at the Royal Box. Before her entry into the castle arena, a tri-service guard of honour that consisted of the Coldstream Guards, RAF Regiment and Royal Navy were already in position, signalled to honour the Queen by the national anthem, played by the military musicians.
The Queen wore an ice-blue sequinned dress and draped a grey embellished shawl around her shoulder to guard against the chill.
