ZARA and Mike Tindall led the famous celebrities attending day one of the Cheltenham Festival on Tuesday.
The Olympic gold medallist, who is also the daughter of Princess Anne, appeared for the beginning of the four-day event.
And she was flanked by her husband Tindall – who was a member of England’s triumphant 2003 Rugby World Cup squad.
Zara’s brother Peter – Princess Anne’s other child – was also present for the opening day’s racing.
Meanwhile, Mike Tindall was not the only famous sporting face at the Gloucestershire event.
Legendary football commentator John Motson was also an early attendee to the Cheltenham Festival.

Aston Villa team-mates Ashley Young, Emiliano Martinez, Kortney Hause, Tyron Mings, Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash were all present.

It is the first time since 2020 that the Cheltenham Festival is welcoming spectators after last year’s event was held behind closed doors.
