Princess Anne's daughter and granddaughter to The Queen, Zara, is in attendance this weekend with her husband Mike Tindall and their three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas, all cheering her on.

On the first day of the equestrian events, the youngsters could be seen running around and having fun, with their former rugby star father keeping a watchful eye.
