The first day of the Platinum Jubilee was "very tiring" for the Queen, it's been reported. The monarch did not attend the service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral earlier today (June 3).
The 96-year-old watched on television from Windsor Castle instead. It's after Buckingham Palace said she experienced "discomfort" during Thursday’s events, including two balcony appearances for Trooping the Colour and a flypast.
On Friday afternoon it was confirmed by Buckingham Palace that the monarch would not attend the Epsom Derby on Saturday, but as an avid horse racing fan is expected to watch it on television. At a reception at London’s Guildhall on Friday, the Duchess of Cambridge is said to have told an attendee the Queen is “fine” but had found the day “very tiring”.
