The Queen had to cancel the ceremony because of a back injury.
Buckingham Palace claimed that the monarch of 95 was disappointed to have missed the event and made it with ‘great regret’.
Queen Elizabeth planned to attend Sunday’s Remembrance Day service at London’s Cenotaph. It would have been the first time she had attended a public event since last month, when her health was compromised.
According to the doctors, it is not believed that Queen Elizabeth’s back strain is related to her recent recommendation to rest.
Buckingham Palace stated that the Queen had strained her back and decided today with deep regret to not attend today’s Remembrance Sunday Service, at Cenotaph.
“Her Majesty regrets that she won’t be able to attend the service.
“As in the past, Her Majesty will receive a wreath from Prince of Wales.
