"Platinum Jubilee Celebration: A Gallop Through History" is being staged as part of the events to mark the monarch's 70th anniversary on the throne.

Elizabeth, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, became queen on Feb. 6, 1952 on the death of her father George VI. The monarch is known for her love of horses.

There will be platinum jubilee celebrations in the UK throughout 2022, with a special weekend of events planned in June, according to Mike Rake, chairman of Platinum Jubilee Celebration - ''A Gallop Through History'' will be a warm-up act for that in Windsor.

"A Gallop Through History" tickets are on sale from Wednesday (September 22), with money raised going to charity. There will also be a chance for audiences to see the show broadcast live on the final night on television.

How Volvo landed a cheap Chinese EV on U.S. shores in a trade war
A made-in-China electric vehicle will hit U.S. dealers this summer offering power and efficiency similar to the Tesla Model Y, the world's best-selling EV, but for about $8,000 less. The EX30 from Volvo Cars, the Swedish luxury brand owned by China's Geely , foreshadows the fierce competitive threat U.S. automakers could face from Chinese EV manufacturers that have surged far ahead of global rivals, especially on affordability. The $35,000 window sticker of Volvo's compact SUV hits a sweet spot in the U.S. market, where most buyers cannot afford most EVs.
