Zara Phillips, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, carried the Olympic torch while riding Toytown - the horse that nearly helped her win a berth for the Beijing Olympics.
The 31-year-old daughter of Princess Anne rode Toytown on the final leg of the relay at the Cheltenham racecourse on Wednesday, completing the fifth day of the 70-day torch relay.
The torch is traveling on a 8,000-mile trip around the U.K., with a stopover in Ireland, ending up in London for the July 27 opening ceremony.
Earlier in the week, Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am carried the Olympic flame, trotting and even moonwalking through the western English city of Taunton.
