My snap of the day: a Bridlington seagull!

I do like to be beside the seaside. And tomorrow I will be again. Goodbye East Yorkshire. Heading south. Off to Eastbourne!

Queen Elizabeth II’s bond with her corgis was one of the most recognizable parts of her public image, stretching back to her childhood. But in 2015, after decades of raising and caring for the dogs she adored, she made a quiet, deeply personal decision: she would stop breeding them.

She didn’t want to leave any young corgis behind when she died, knowing how attached they became to her and how difficult it would be for them to adjust without her. It was a rare glimpse into her private sense of responsibility and foresight, wrapped in something as simple and as emotional, as her love for her pets.

Her final corgi died in April 2018, marking the end of a lineage that had lived alongside her for more than 80 years. When the Queen herself passed in 2022, the choice she made years earlier suddenly felt even more poignant. She had ensured that none of her beloved dogs would be left waiting for a mistress who would never return.

One of the most personal stories about Queen Elizabeth II and her corgis goes back to Susan, the Pembroke Welsh corgi she received for her 18th birthday in 1944.

Elizabeth was so attached to Susan that she secretly brought her along on her honeymoon with Prince Philip, and when Susan died, the Queen had her buried at Sandringham with a hand‑carved headstone, something she reserved for only her most beloved animals.

Susan became the matriarch of ten generations of royal corgis, more than 30 dogs in total, who followed the Queen through every chapter of her life, from palace corridors to Balmoral walks. The Queen once said, “My corgis are family,” and it showed: they traveled with her, appeared in official portraits, and were often seen trotting at her heels during state duties.
