Buckingham Palace have bid farewell to a cherished member of the royal household in a touching message.
Tyrone, a 19-year-old Windsor Grey horse who pulled royal carriages during some of the monarchy’s most significant occasions, has retired after a decade and a half of “noble service”.
The horse concluded his ceremonial duties following French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit in May 2025.
Standing at 18 hands, or 6 feet tall, Buckingham Palace described Tyrone as a “gentle and dependable giant” in their farewell message.

The Palace wrote: “After 14 years of noble service with the Royal Mews, we are celebrating Tyrone and wishing him a happy retirement!”
Last week, Tyrone departed the Royal Mews for permanent residence at the Horse Trust sanctuary in Buckinghamshire.
He has now been reunited with his 26-year-old father Storm and 20-year-old sister Meg, both former royal carriage horses now residing at the Chiltern Hills sanctuary.
“All three horse were very dear to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” the post informed touchingly.

The message concluded sweetly: “Tyrone will be missed by everyone at the Royal Mews, but it’s wonderful that he’ll be reunited with his father and sister. Thank you, Tyrone!”
Buckingham Palace’s tribute also featured a carousel of images of Tyrone and information about his most important duties.
Throughout his career, the Irish draught horse participated in the monarchy’s most prestigious ceremonies.
He drew the Diamond Jubilee State Coach that transported King Charles and Queen Camilla from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey for the 2023 coronation.
