“It’s with the greatest of sadness to announce that PH Keston has passed away,” the Twitter account MetTaskforce posted. “PH Keston regularly escorted HM The Queen on various state events and other high profile occasions. He was a real crowed pleaser with people around London. Thank you for your service Keston. Rip.”

MetTaskforce has shared a couple of pictures of PH Keston’s service in 2016. Keston was first seen in some of the pictures of the Guard Change at Buckingham Palace in June of 2016. After that, he was seen escorting the Prince of Wales and the Queen. Apparently, his job was to greet the public.
PH Quixote and PH Keston have been patrolling around the Churchill Gardens area @MPSChurchill @MPSWestminster this lunchtime as here have been reports of anti-social behaviour. Lots of smiley children and one male educated on his driving around horses. pic.twitter.com/NWACe6ICC2

It’s unknown just how close Queen Elizabeth II was to Keston, but given her love for horses, she was most likely deeply hurt by the news of him passing away.
