Queen to miss Rememberance Day service

[KenAdams]

As she has apparently sprained her back.

I do wish the Palace would be honest about her health (without giving details) rather than setting her up to attend events that they know she won't be at. It can't be good for her, they should just say she's out for a while, which at her age would be completely understandable.

I thought she looked really thin, you could see the outline of her arms, also her hands were a very strange blue colour . But glad she’s up and about.

Just came by to comment on her engagement today. Felt like her guest was aware that he would need to do most of the talking. She seemed very frail, and what she said about finding it easier to continue in a job didn't make a great deal of sense, really.

I think this little video was sent out to deal with any theories! Had to laugh at the corgi - he really wasn't sure about it was he, and it looked like it might take a nip at his ankle!

I'm now sure she isn't so sharp in mind and sturdy in body as she was only a few months ago, and that's fine because she's 95.

I still don't think we'll be seeing her much again, maybe more of these little vignettes as she meets the occasional person.

I imagine as soon as the camera stopped, helpers were on hand to get her seated comfortably.

Prince Charles, who was asked about his mother's health during his trip to Jordan, said: "She's alright, thank you very much.

"Once you get to 95, it's not quite as easy as it used to be. It's bad enough at 73."

That armchair looks fairly ancient. I quite like that.

She has lost quite a bit of weight since Philip died hasn't she?

It has only been a few months yet hasn't it?

At 95 of course any illness is going to take it's toll & be harder to get over, let alone whilst still grieving.

Gosh her hands are very blue aren’t they? Completely different colour from her face.

No sign of a sprained back either!

"Once you get to 95, it's not quite as easy as it used to be. It's bad enough at 73."

How amazing to be 73 & still have a parent living & have only just lost the other.

Shame that Prince Philip didn't make it to 100.

Wonder if HM will?

It would have been their wedding anniversary this month. I’m sure that must be difficult for her.

Yes ,I agree @HarrisonStickle her remark "I suppose if you're going to enter that job it's er you know easier to continue ." did seem a bit obtuse .

No fun being old .

Dh says anticoagulants can make your hands look like that.

She has lost a lot of weight recently - I noticed on a previous video with her sat at a desk, you could see around her neckline was a lot more bony.

That's the horrible thing with the first year after you lose someone, all those firsts are hard.

Yes. Christmas will be tough too I imagine. She’s known Philip all her adult life. There can’t be many people left who have known her as well and for as long.

She's known him since she was 13 I think.
