The Queen sprained her back and did not attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph yesterday, as Buckingham Palace said she was “disappointed” to miss the event.
The central London service was due to be the Queen’s first public appearance in almost four weeks since a hospital stay last month, after which she was advised by doctors to rest.
Buckingham Palace yesterday said that “the Queen, having sprained her back, has decided this morning with great regret that she will not be able to attend today’s Remembrance Sunday Service at the Cenotaph.
“Her Majesty is disappointed that she will miss the service. As in previous years, a wreath will be laid on Her Majesty’s behalf by the Prince of Wales.”
The service was attended by the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra.

Perhaps Allianz is already dealing with a dash of buyer’s remorse. In the two months since the insurance giant took the Twickenham naming rights to the tune of more than £100m, England’s men have played three, lost three; the bedecking of their home in deep blue branding suddenly feels appropriately doleful decoration.
