I am. Not sure why, but couldn't find anything else on. Was also similarly impressed with TC - someone will be along shortly to say he's 98% wax but I think he looks great.

I'm puzzled as to why Tom Cruise is in this programme. Is the Queen a fan?

I'm watching. I was confused as to why Tom Cruise is so involved too.

I'm watching not really sure what you expect.

A shame the horses got spooked at the start.

What spooked the horses just before the Queen arrived? One of the riders ended up on the floor. I saw him back up again, must have been a shock.

I didn't think too deeply why TC was there.....just thought he was looking good😉. On another note, nice to see the Queen looking so well.

I’ve just switched off - utter drivel.

I thought it was live, bit assuming they're not stopping for the adverts !

Queen looks lovely albeit not amused.

I think the only time she was happy at such an event was that time the cows came out lol

I'm enjoying it, but wonder what we're missing from the live show during all of this filler?

Didn't realise a rider had been dismounted when the horses were spooked.

I a,so wondered why TC, but it looks like loads of actors are taking part so I guess in that respect he's just another one.

I am. My son is one of the musicians in the mass pipes and drums.

There's definitely gaps with all the history filler. Saw it live the other night, they should really just let it run and stop interrupting the show.

Tom Cruise did a private screening of his latest film with William & Kate a few weeks back didn’t he, so I assume he is “in” with the Royal Family. Otherwise his presence doesn’t make a lot of sense really.
I’m finding the programme a bit painful. They always seem to do things like this for big royal occasions, but they are so old fashioned. Also it can’t decide whether it’s entertainment or a parade. It’s an odd mix. I do love the heavy horses though.

It's bizarre. The Household Cavalry accompanied by Gregory Porter warbling away.

I'm enjoying the singing.

Also, Omid Djalilli is a nice touch imho.

So is it actually live or not then?!?

I wanted to love it but sadly finding it a bit strange. It doesn’t seem to know what it is. Concert, military style show, tv entertainment/pantomime type comedy show. It’s a bit confusing.
Also wondering why the Queen is actually there. She looks unhappy and is surely cold. It is quite a lot for a person of her age. Surely the younger royals could have be the guests at this one.

I've just had to google Gregory Porter. It seems they have seized anyone fairly famous who happens to be in London and is prepared to sing to horses.

The French horsemanship is lovely. I've not seen this ever before

It is very horse centric. But then her majesty does love her horses!

Is it taking place in the grounds of Windsor Castle?

I thought Gregory Porter was great. I'm also a little confused at what it is.....but I'm enjoying the music 🎶

The Radio Times says it’s being broadcast live, but I don’t think it can be.

Yes, and it seems to be the finale to this year's Royal Windsor Horse Show merging into the Jubilee celebrations.

I agree it's a bit different. I'm viewing it as a Christmas panto on horseback. I love it.
