The Queen, who is sovereign of the Garter, was joined by Prince Charles, 69, Princess Anne, 67, and Prince William, 35, who has been a member of the Order since 2008.

Also in attendance at Windsor Castle to watch the annual event were Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, 70 and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, 53.
