The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and the Duke of Edinburgh all rode horses during the parade, maintaining a long-standing tradition of mounted participation in the ceremony.
This arrangement saw the Royal Family divided between those travelling by carriage and those on horseback, creating a display of both traditional pageantry and equestrian skill during the annual celebration.
The carriages used in today's procession have a distinguished heritage within the Royal Family's ceremonial traditions.
The Ascot Landau, a four-wheeled luxury carriage with a retractable roof, is one of five such vehicles maintained by the Royal Mews.
These carriages were originally purchased during Queen Victoria's reign and feature prominently at various state occasions.
