Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, known for her love of horses, will receive one of French President Emmanuel Macron’s prize thoroughbreds as a gift to mark her 70 years on the throne.

The 7-year-old horse, called Fabuleu de Maucour, escorted Macron down the Champs Elysees in Paris last month as part of an official ceremony, Macron’s office said. Britain kicked off four days of pageantry and parties on Thursday to celebrate Elizabeth’s 70 years on the throne, a longer reign than any of her predecessors.

“Throughout these transformations, your devotion to our alliance, and to our friendship has remained and has helped build the trust that brought freedom and prosperity to our continent,” Macron said in a video message in English published on his official Twitter account.
