It is used in official and ceremonial state events, and will pulled by Windsor grey horses. The horses seen during today’s parade will be the same ones used on Saturday. 

There are five carriages like the one seen today, which are kept in the Royal Mews. They take their name because they are used during the Queen’s procession at Royal Ascot ever year.
