The UK has been under lockdown since March and the public has finally gotten a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth II for the first time in months.

On Sunday, Queen Elizabeth enjoyed a horseback ride at Windsor Castle alongside her daughter, Princess Anne.

The Queen was photographed wearing a colourful headscarf as she rode one of her favourite horses - a 14-year-old Fell Pony called Balmoral Fern, according to Independent UK.

The Queen carried out official duties the day before her planned departure but has since been working from isolation.

The 94-year-old monarch holds her weekly with prime minister Boris Johnson on the phone rather than in person, as usual, YEN.com.gh learned.

During the lockdown period, the Queen has made two televised addresses to the nation - which she delivered from Windsor Castle according to Express.co.uk.

Since the images were posted online, fans of the Queen has come out in support of the monarch.
