A look back in time...🕰
Royal Windsor Horse Show was first staged in 1943 to help raise funds for the War effort.
The first show was simply called the Windsor Horse and Dog Show. It took place on Wednesday 26th May 1943 and helped the Royal Borough raise £391,197 – enough money to buy 78 Typhoon fighter aircraft. It was attended by all the key members of the Royal Family including King George VI, Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) and the two young princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret.
The Show was extended to two days in 1946, three days in 1947, four days in 1967 and five days in 1977.
