The Queen was a big animal lover.
During her life she had more than 30 dogs.
In addition to her great love for dogs and breeding Pembroke Welsh Corgis, she also had a passion for horses.
She was a passionate rider until old age.
This close connection is clearly noticeable in many of their pictures and videos.
And so it's hardly surprising that her family includes the beloved pets in the grieving process - as seen in a clip shared by
