England legend and member of the royal family Mike Tindall has broken his silence with an emotional tribute to the Queen.
The 2003 World Cup-winner, who is married to the late Queen’s granddaughter, Zara Tindall, shared his tribute on Instagram.
Describing the Queen as an ‘amazing woman’, he said: “I can only say how kind they’ve been to me, and how welcoming they’ve been to me since joining the family.
“And how they’ve made my family welcome. I’ve always felt part of it and I think that’s down to what an amazing woman the Queen is. They’re a fantastic family.”
