To mark the Queen’s 70-year reign and celebrate her Platinum Jubilee, Windsor Castle will reveal a huge equestrian production. Home to 1,000 years of royal history, Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home to 39 monarchs.

Situated in the picturesque English county of Berkshire, it represents almost a utopia of architectural history. Not only is it the most visited tourist spot, but also the place where the Queen spends most of her private weekends at. Hence, to honor Elizabeth II’s reign, the Queen of the United Kingdom, and 15 other Commonwealth realms, an extravagant celebration will be organized by the Castle.
