The late Queen would regularly turn up as a spectator at the horse show, which is held at Windsor Castle.

Charles was last spotted, with Camilla by his side, on Sunday at Crathie Church service in Aberdeen.

His Majesty chose to make his public comeback by visiting a cancer hospital earlier on last week.
