At the end of the Royal Windsor Horse Show in Windsor, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II was in the best of spirits and without any major restrictions.

Footage from the grand finale of the annual Stallion Parade in Windsor Castle Park showed the now 96-year-old monarch walking a red carpet on Sunday night. With her right hand she leaned lightly on a cane. However, the queen did not seem restricted.

Just last week, the Queen canceled her participation in the opening of Parliament in London due to mobility problems, sparking new speculation about her health. For the first time in her 70-year reign, she was represented by the heir to the throne, Prince Charles (73), at the reading of the government program.
