Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, were spotted at the Windsor-based polo club presenting trophies to the winners of the Cartier Cup at Guards Polo Club.
The prestigious event, held annually and named in the Queen's honour, attracts high-profile guests and is one of the top five polo tournaments in the world.
The Queen looked stunning in a powder blue coat, while Philip, who underwent hip surgery earlier in April, appeared to be in remarkable health.
Despite retiring from public duties last year, Philip was in high spirits, shaking hands with guests and looking chirpy as he greeted the winners.
The royal couple seemed to be enjoying themselves, and the Duke's presence was a welcome sight, especially after his recent health scare.
This weekend, Prince Philip was also spotted carriage-driving through the same park.
It has been confirmed that the Duke of Edinburgh will attend Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's wedding later this year.

According to Richard Fitzwilliams, “The idea behind the Duke's retirement was that he would attend events when he wanted to or was able to.
I do expect he will be at Eugenie's wedding.
He has recovered well from hip surgery as we saw at Harry and Meghan's nuptials.
We won't know if he will be attending royal events, so it will be an added bonus when he does.”
Prince Philip retired from public life last August after 64 years of service, but he will still attend previously scheduled engagements between now and August, both individually and accompanying the Queen.
After that, he will not be accepting new invitations for visits and engagements, although he may still choose to attend certain public events from time to time.
Her Majesty will continue to carry out a full programme of official engagement with the support of members of the Royal Family.
Buckingham Palace stressed at the time that the Duke's decision to retire was not health-related.
Prince Philip has undertaken 22,191 solo engagements and given 5,493 speeches in almost seven decades of service.
However, the Prince has been suffering from ill health recently and had hip replacement surgery in April.
He stayed in hospital for 10 days after the planned surgery before returning to Windsor to recover.
His Royal Highness expressed his appreciation for the messages of good wishes he received.
His recent ill health meant he missed several public events, notably the Easter Sunday mass service with the Queen and other members of the Royal Family.
The 96-year-old has been in hospital five times since December 2011, with his most serious health scare being over Christmas 2011 when he was rushed to hospital for an emergency heart operation in which he had a stent fitted and missed the Royal Family's traditional Christmas Day church service.
Despite his recent health issues, Prince Philip looked to be in good spirits at the polo club, and his attendance at Princess Eugenie's wedding will be a welcome sight.
The Duke's retirement from public life was a significant moment for the Royal Family, but his continued presence at certain events is a testament to his dedication and commitment to serving the Queen and the country.
