The Queen will miss Remembrance events this weekend while she recovers from a chest infection, Buckingham Palace has said. A statement said Queen Camilla was "following doctors’ guidance to ensure a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection, and to protect others from any potential risk".

The Queen is said to be mindful of passing any lingering infection to others after she was forced to pull out of an Olympic and Paralympic reception at the Palace and the opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey earlier this week due to developing the bug.

The Queen will not be attending Remembrance Sunday events this weekend amid her ongoing illness, Buckingham Palace has confirmed. It comes after Queen Camilla, 77, was diagnosed with a chest infection and cancelled several engagements this week.
