It was one of the most moving parts of the duke s funeral.
His two beloved fell ponies were seen pulling their late master s carriage, on which lay his driving cap, gloves, blanket – and even the well-worn red-lidded plastic tub he kept their sugar lumps in.
Fortunately, Prince Philip s ponies and polished dark green carriage will be passed on to a member of the family who shares his love for the sport of carriage-driving – his 17-year-old granddaughter Lady Louise.
On the morning he died, the daughter of the Earl and Countess of Wessex was seen in Windsor Great Park in his carriage, paying tribute by putting the ponies through their paces.
