THE Queen will embark on a series of major events and public duties in a busy schedule ahead of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations this summer, the Evening Standard understands.
The 95-year-old monarch, who privately celebrated 70 years on the throne yesterday, has told staff she is determined to carry on working hard right up to the official festivities in June, according to palace sources.
She was advised to rest by doctors after a health scare last year, which forced her to spend a night in hospital. But she will return to public life in the run-up to the jubilee weekend - which will include a memorial service for her late husband Prince Philip on March 29, shortly before the anniversary of his death last April.
Other engagements that the Queen plans to attend in person include the Diplomatic Reception at Windsor Castle on and the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on March 14. She will also be resuming her normal duties of audiences and privy council meetings in a mix of both virtual and in-person events.
Sources said she had told staff she wanted to get out amongst her people.
