Gold State Coach ‘creaks like an old galleon but runs better than it used to’

The impressive Gold State Coach creaks like an “old galleon” as it rolls along, but runs a lot smoother than it used to, the man in charge of its care has revealed. Martin Oates, senior carriage restorer at the Royal Mews, will walk behind the four-tonne carriage in the King’s coronation procession and act as the “brake man” pulling the hand-held T-bar at the back to secure it in place when it stops.

She will continue to be much-loved and cared for at the Royal Mews, Windsor, and regularly exercised by its small, dedicated team."Emma - full name Carltonlima Emma - was bred at the Murthwaite Stud Farm in Cumbria and was just eight when the Queen first started riding her.Emma's breeder once described the horse, who was bought by the Queen in 2004, as "a wonderful servant to Her Majesty" who she would ride around Windsor Castle well into her twilight years.Pendry said: "The Queen adored Emma and rode her for more than 20 years so it was only right she should have been there, and she behaved impeccably."I think she probably had some sort of sixth sense that Her Majesty wouldn't be riding her anymore and she did her proud by standing there so respectfully."The Queen's passion for horse-riding was well known and is thought to have been sparked by her grandfather King George V when he gifted her a Shetland pony called Peggy.
