Queen Elizabeth will not be attending the upcoming Jubilee service at St Paul’s Cathedral, pulling out last minute after suffering discomfort

In a statement, Buckingham Palace says the decision was made ‘with great reluctance’, after considering both the journey to the cathedral and activity required.

The Palace says the onset of discomfort followed Thursday’s Birthday Parade event.

Her Majesty is anticipating she will still be able to participate in Friday night’s Beacon lighting event at Windsor Castle, while also taking the opportunity to thank those who have already made this weekend such a memorable occasion.

Prince Charles will represent his mother at the celebration instead.
