Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip at 2009 Epsom Derby

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth was pretty in pink at the 2009 Epsom Derby on June 6, 2009. The monarch, accompanied by her husband Prince Philip, was in good spirits in spite of the rainy weather. Even her umbrella was trimmed in pink to match her coat and hat.

The Queen attended the Derby, a highlight of the British horse racing year, with high hopes for her horse, History Lesson. The horse finished fifth in its race.

It wasn’t just the horses that ran, apparently. A streaker got out on to the track and pulled down his pants. The Queen wasn’t all that shocked, and actually found it funny, according to Monsters and Critics.
