The Queen surprised the nation when she made a shock appearance at Paddington Station this week to acknowledge the new Elizabeth Line named in her honour.
The visit to officially open the new TfL line came as such a surprise due to the long list of events the Queen has been unable to attend in recent weeks, with episodic mobility issues cited as the reason for her absence.
It is traditional for the Queen to host three garden parties a year at Buckingham Palace and one at Hollyrood House in Scotland.
