A horse caught the eyes of viewers in the opening moments of the Trooping the Colour procession – after it decided to 'kick off' and disobey its rider as the procession began.

As the Royal carriage procession was heading out of the gates of Buckingham Palace, one horse decided he wasn't too keen on taking part and seemed skittery as soon as it walked out of the archway.

Soon after, the rider lost control of the horse as it turned sideways away from the procession. The horse then turned to face the palace, blocking the third Royal carriage.

The coverage of the Queen's Jubilee quickly panned down, showing the first two carriages, with the horse being seen ridden off to the side.

Viewers were quick to spot the horse's rebellion, with one user writing: "A huge shout-out this morning to the horse at Trooping the Colour who has clearly had ENOUGH of everyone and decided to stay home."

Another wrote: "One of the horses there expressing much of the same enthusiasm I have about having to go out at this time of day…"

While another said: "Loving the horses that are having absolutely none of it. Want me to go that way? Heck no, I'm moonwalking sideways into a carriage."

Other viewers posted videos and photos of the incident, with some people appreciating that the horse added some thrill to the start of the procession.

One person said: "Shout out to the stressed horse who nearly hijacked the Royal Family's carriage procession, I see you babe."

Trooping the Colour marks the beginning of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee – an unprecedented event in British history.

Queen Elizabeth II is the longest ever reigning monarch, and the first King or Queen to reach the Platinum Jubilee in British history.

There were huge cheers as the royals departed as part of the procession, with all three of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – all being seated in the carriage for the first time for the Trooping the Colour procession.

Meanwhile, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Anne, the Princess Royal, were all on horseback, with the Duke of Wales later taking the royal salute on behalf of the Queen – the first time that she has missed out on the gesture in her entire, historic reign.

Instead, the Queen will appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, joined by her cousin, the Duke of Kent. This is due to concerns over the monarch's health, with the Queen experiencing some mobility issues in recent weeks.
