Unable to lay the wreath due to back strain, bless her and may she get well soon. <3

Yes, hope she gets better soon.

Strained backs can be very painful.

But she hasn't actually laid any wreath for the last 4 or 5 years. Prince Charles has done it on her behalf, while she has watched from a balcony.

If it is anything like the last strained back I had .......... I did it accidently, just by turning slightly but something "twinged", and I couldn't walk properly. Had to do a bed rest for a couple of days!

I have a strained back, and yes in a fair amount of pain most of the time and have a Rollator now so I have a seat wherever I am in towns and don't have to look for anywhere to sit down.

Joan ......... the last few times I've done it, it's by just stretching sideways to get something to the side of where I was sitting.

So easy!!

Also, she doesn't seem to have been doing the exercising she has long been used to doing, eg taking the dogs for walks. That also doesn't help.

I can imagine she is feeling furious with herself!

For me I just have to move slightly wrong sometimes, and if you have a bad back it doesn't take much strain it.

seen in the DM this morning, part of a longer piece re remembrance day.

It is not known how she hurt herself, but she has suffered from back pain before and did not experience a fall.

The Queen was not taken to hospital and is continuing to rest at Windsor. It is understood that her doctors told her the pain was not conducive to the drive from Windsor to London and a long period of standing on her feet.

‘To say that she is deeply disappointed to miss it is an understatement,’

‘It is the most inked-in commitment in her diary each year.’

A royal aide added: ‘It is obviously incredibly unfortunate timing and nobody regrets the Queen’s absence more than her majesty herself. She is deeply disappointed to miss the engagement which she regards as one of the most significant engagements of the year.’

The Mail understands that she has one or two virtual audiences in her diary this week which staff expect her to undertake as part of her programme of ‘rest and light duties’.

Since 2017 HRH Prince Charles has laid a wreath on behalf of H.M. who watched from the Foreign Office window. To say the least of it the suspension of a top end Rolls Royce is very easy going.

H.M. has now missed the Royal Albert event followed by the Sunday march past, two events of utmost importance in her calendar.

Concerning.
God Save the Queen.
