The royal corgis attend the Queen's funeral procession

As the funeral procession for Queen Elizabeth II neared Windsor Castle, a few of her most beloved furry friends waited for her to arrive.

The royal corgis, Muick and Sandy, were spotted in the forecourt, being looked after by two members of staff, as the cortege made its way to St George's. Some on the internet are calling the horse's act a curtsy after it raised its hoof as the Queen's coffin was driven by. One of the monarch's headscarves was on Emma's saddle.

corgis and horses were two of the Queen's favorite pastimes. She has a lifelong love of corgis and raised more than 30 of them throughout her life. The prize-winning cocker spaniel named Lissy was nowhere to be found on the castle grounds. The Queen's son, Prince Andrew, will look after the corgis with his ex- wife.

Emma, the monarch's favorite riding pony, recently participated in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, parading in the Windsor Horse Show's televised performance.

The Queen got her first horse when she was 4 years old. She continued to ride until she was 96. She was a big fan of thoroughbred racing.

There is a lot to say about Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral and the future of the British monarchy, but watching her pets honor her one last time was truly touching.
