The Queen's health continues to cause issues  for her as it was announced that  will not be part of today’s Remembrance Sunday following a sprain in her back.

In a statement by Buckingham Palace it revealed that the monarch, who was due to arrive in person in central London, will not be able to attend the National Service of Remembrance.

The statement added that her decision to pull out came "with great regret".

"The Queen, having sprained her back, has decided this morning with great regret that she will not be able to attend today's Remembrance Sunday Service at the Cenotaph.
