Competing on her house Toytown at the weekend, Phillips held her nerve to win the three day event, helped by a faultless performance in the cross-country on Saturday.

The 25-year-old now holds both the world and European titles, the latter also won by her mother, Princess Anne, in 1971.

The British competitors, Zara Phillips with Mary King, Daisy Dick and William Fox-Pitt (pictured above), came second behind Germany in the team event.
