The Fell Pony Society has paid tribute to the Queen, who was its patron for 40 years. Queen Elizabeth II first bred a fell pony in 1952 and she was photographed riding the animals until shortly before her death. Society chairman Peter Boustead said she made no secret of her love of the ponies and recently received an award. She was photographed on her 96th birthday with two that were bred near Tebay, Cumbria.
