Queen to attend Remembrance Sunday service at Cenotaph

Monarch will lead commemoration of war dead at National Service of Remembrance in London, despite recent order to rest

The Queen will attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph, leading the nation in commemorating the war dead. The monarch, 95, has been under doctors' orders to rest for almost a month. She spent a night in hospital on 20 October undergoing preliminary tests.

The event will be given added poignancy by a return to pre-pandemic numbers of participating veterans and military, as well as onlookers.
