The Queen is mourning the loss of her friend and former Master of the Horse Lord Vestey, who has died at the age of 79.
The ex-Cheltenham racecourse chairman was part of the monarchâs inner circle and his death has come just two months after that of his wife Lady Celia Vestey.
Lord Vestey, who was one of Britainâs richest men, was also a close friend of the Prince of Wales and Lady Vestey, who died in late November, was the Duke of Sussexâs godmother.

Between 1995 and 1998, William served as Page of Honour to the Queen.
Lady Vestey s death came as a hard blow not just for the monarch but also for Prince Harry, as she was one of his godparents.
The death of her horse racing friend and former aide comes just two days before a painful milestone for the Queen.
On February 6, the monarch will mark the 69th anniversary of her ascension to the throne.
