Absent from the other ceremonies that punctuated this week of mourning, Prince George and Princess Charlotte (their brother Louis having been deemed too young for the event) made a remarkable appearance at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
Very close to the one she affectionately nicknamed "Gan-Gan" and to whom she resembles so much, the little princess, now third in the order of succession to the crown after her brother and her father, had added to her black jacket circumstance a precious significant detail.
In the crosshairs, a white gold horseshoe given to him by Elizabeth II in memory of their shared passion for horse riding.
The same equestrian jewel had been spotted a few days ago around the neck of Lady Louise Windsor, another great-granddaughter of the Queen who shared a taste for royal carriages with Prince Philip.
Ultimate nod to an era, now gone...
