"Aurora, a retired police horse that led Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral procession through Windsor, has died at the age of 13.
Known to officers by her stable name ‘Doris’, the grey mare retired in September 2022, with her final public duty leading the late Queen’s state funeral procession.
Aurora was well known to The Royal Family, having also escorted them at Royal Ascot, and was on duty at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,
The 13-year-old mare was put to sleep after suffering a ruptured ligament."
This breaks my heart.
