Queen Elizabeth makes surprise appearance
Royal enthusiasts were delighted to see Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth make yet another surprise appearance, despite suffering from ongoing mobility issues
Elizabeth attended the opening ceremony of a new London train line which has been named in her honour.
Elizabeth can be seen wearing a bright yellow coat and hat, attending the event alongside her youngest son Edward and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Unveiling a plaque at Paddington Station, it comes after the Queen missed the opening of parliament for the first time since 1963.
Buckingham Palace says she is continuing to suffer from “episodic mobility issues”.
In October, the royal spent a night in hospital for an unspecified illness.
The $24 billion rail project was originally due to be opened back in December 2018, but has been plagued by delays.
The Elizabeth line will connect areas of west of London, including Heathrow airport and Reading.
Johnson says it’s “wonderful” to see the queen open the train line, adding she was in “such fine form”.
