Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall have returned to UK from Australia in time for their eldest daughter's 11th birthday on Friday.
Mia Tindall remained in the UK with her siblings Lena, six, and Lucas, three, as the children returned to school after the Christmas break while Mike and Zara headed to Australia.
Mike and Zara had been enjoying the glitz and glamour of the Gold Coast event but will mark their daughter's special milestone from afar.
The Tindalls consider Australia their "home from home" and traditionally begin their year with the Magic Millions carnival.

Before their Australian trip, the family enjoyed quality time together at Cheltenham racecourse.
Mia and Lena were spotted showing their enthusiasm in the stands, eagerly cheering on the jockeys and their horses.
The family day out also included Zara's brother Peter Phillips, who attended with his girlfriend Harriet Sperling.
The children's presence at the racecourse reflects their growing interest in sports, with Mike previously telling HELLO!: "Both Mia and Lena go to Minchinhampton rugby club on a Sunday and they are only nine and four so we've got to give them a bit of time before the pressure comes on but they love all sports and they play rugby as well."
