The Queen enjoyed the warmest of welcomes this morning as she arrived in Somerset to indulge her first love - horses - on a series of equine-related engagements in the West Country.
Her Majesty, 92, looked the epitomy of spring as she arrived at Castle Cary station wearing a matching lime green coat and dress, with a co-ordinated hat featuring daffodils.
Eschewing local commuter services in favour of a ride on the Royal Train, the Queen beamed as she was met at the platform by local school-children waving Union Jack flags and Annie Maw, the Lord Lieutenant of Somerset.
The short visit will see the Queen indulge her first love - horses - on a short visit to the West Country. After arriving by train at Castle Cary station, she met trainer Paul Nicholls at Manor Farm Stables in Ditcheat - and offered a carrot to a chocolate-coloured horse

After chatting with many of the gathered children, including one who presented her with a small posy, the Queen made the short journey by car to Manor Farm Stables in Ditcheat, where trainer Paul Nicholls was on hand to greet her.
The champion trainers wasn't the only one, a chocolate-coloured horse with an appetite for carrots nuzzled up to the Queen after she offered up the healthy snack.
The steed was one of several horses in the stables, which is working with the University of Bath on further research into equestrian sport spinal injuries and racehorse welfare.
