Peter Phillips took Autumn Kelly along to cheer on his sister Zara at an eventing festival in Gatcombe Park today.

The pair, who caused controversy earlier this year after selling their wedding photos to Hello! for a reputed £500,000, kept a low-profile as they watched Zara and her horse Tsunami II from the crowd.

Zara and Peter's mother, Princess Anne, also turned out to show her support.

There is no doubt it was warmly welcomed by Zara, who managed to put on a brave for the occasion.

She was left bitterly disappointed earlier this month when she was forced to pull out of the Olympics after her horse Toytown was injured in training.

The 27-year-old, who is the world champion three-day eventer, was tipped to win gold at the Beijing Games this summer.

But since she and the gelding Toytown were jointly selected for Great Britain's eventing team, his injury meant she also had to withdraw.
