As celebrations continue to mark her 70th anniversary as monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has pulled out of today’s Platinum Jubilee Thanksgiving Service after experiencing discomfort while watching Thursday’s parade at Buckingham Palace.
Thursday’s celebrations were marked by the traditional Horse Guards Parade and a fly-past by 70 aircraft of the Royal Air Force.
In the evening the Queen took part in a beacon-lighting event.
Although the Queen will be absent from today’s service at St Paul’s Cathedral, she will be represented by her eldest son, Prince Charles.
