Zara Tindall's daughter, Lena, takes her first public steps
The youngest daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall has made a rare public appearance.
Lena Elizabeth Tindall, one, was seen taking her first public steps at an equestrian fair in England's south-west on Friday.
Holding hands with her mum, little Lena was dressed in a cute floral dress and was seen walking among the attractions at the Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park.

Lena was pictured playing on the jumping castle while Zara stood nearby, before scooping her daughter up in her arms. Zara and Mike also brought their eldest daughter, Mia, five, along to the festival. The family was seen attending both days of the event, which featured dressage, show jumping and cross country.
It's one of the first times Lena has been seen in public since her birth in June, 2018. In March, the Queen attended Lena's christening at St Nicholas Church in Cherington, Gloucestershire. Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex were among the guests.

Lena (pronounced Lay-na) is now 20th in line to the British throne, having been bumped down the list following the birth of Harry and Meghan's son, Archie, in May.
Her birth came after Zara suffered two miscarriages in the past, which she described as "horrible".
In an interview with the BBC, the award-winning equestrian spoke about how the added pressure of being a member of the royal family made the situation far worse.

"I think that's the hardest thing in our situation, is that everyone knew," Zara said. "And very much when things like that happen, normally it's just your family and friends, but unfortunately everyone knew about it."
However, while the publicity was invasive, she admitted it allowed the public to reach out and support her and husband.
"Actually I had so many letters saying 'I'm so sorry, we've been through the same thing', which was incredible, and thank you to all those people," Zara added.
"It's been a horrible road but, you know, actually now we've come out the end of it, hopefully it makes you a stronger family."
