Fresh fears have been sparked over the Queen's health following the news that Her Majesty's traditional welcome to Balmoral Castle has been axed.
The 96-year-old monarch had been due to attend the ceremony in Scotland tomorrow (Monday) but it was cancelled recently and swiftly replaced with a "small, private event".
It is the first time in decades, apart from the pandemic, that she will not greet well-wishers at the gates to mark the start of her annual holiday.
