Queen Elizabeth to Miss Remembrance Service Because of Sprained Back

The British monarch, 95, has put off multiple trips and engagements recently, and the latest cancellation has deepened anxiety about her health. She has now been out of sight since mid-October.

Queen Elizabeth II has sprained her back, Buckingham Palace said on Sunday, forcing her to miss a remembrance service that she had planned to attend after canceling multiple trips and other engagements because of poor health.

The palace said that the queen’s injury, which it announced less than two hours before she was scheduled to appear at the ceremony, was not related to earlier medical advice that she rest for at least two weeks.

It will deepen anxiety about the health of the queen, who is 95 and who has now been out of sight since mid-October, skipping trips to Northern Ireland and a United Nations climate conference in Glasgow.

The palace offered no additional details about the back injury, though an official said that the queen hoped to continue carrying out “official light duties” in the coming week.

She has curtailed public appearances on the advice of doctors after what palace officials described as exhaustion, following a hectic autumn of events.

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty.

also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy

Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.

In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities. Hostilities formally ended “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” of 1918, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. (“At the 11th hour” refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.

Queen Elizabeth Has Sprained Back and Misses Public Ceremony With ‘Great Regret’

The Queen, 95, had been expected in London to take part in a moving Remembrance Sunday service

Queen Elizabeth has had another setback in her return to public duties.

She has sprained her back and with “great regret” missed the solemn Remembrance Day ceremony in London on Sunday.

It was to have been the 95-year-old monarch’s returned to public view for the first time in two weeks since she was asked to rest by medics.

In a short message, Buckingham Palace announced early on Sunday, “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. Her Majesty is disappointed that she will miss the service.”

The Queen is said by a royal source to be “deeply disappointed,” as she regards the moving ceremony as “one of the most significant engagements of the year.”

The Queen spent last weekend at Sandringham, her country home in Norfolk, most likely checking on her horses as she was spotted with her racing manager John Warren. Back at Windsor, she has been carrying out “light duties” such as video calls and audiences, via telephone, with PrIme Minister Boris Johnson.

Why do we Celebrate Remembrance Day UK?

Remembrance Sunday, in the United Kingdom, holiday held on the second Sunday of November that commemorates British service members who have died in wars and other military conflicts since the onset of World War I.

By tradition, a two-minute period of silence is observed throughout the country at 11 am, and church services and other ceremonial gatherings take place during the day. A nationally televised remembrance service, generally attended by politicians, religious leaders, military personnel, and members of the British royal family, has been held for decades at the Cenotaph monument in central London. Remembrance Sunday is observed in the United Kingdom on Sunday, November 14, 2021.

The holiday has its origins in Armistice Day, which was dedicated in Great Britain on Nov. 11, 1919, in commemoration of the one-year anniversary of the peace agreement that ended World War I. In response to a politician’s suggestion, King George V requested that the country pause in silence for two minutes in acknowledgment of the war’s fatalities.

Thereafter a period of silence became the centrepiece of Armistice Day events that occurred annually until the outbreak of World War II in 1939, when it was decided that general celebrations would not be held on November 11 of that year. Instead, a proximate Sunday was observed as a “day of dedication” during the span of the war. After the conclusion of World War II, the British government, seeking to honour participants in both World Wars, officially replaced Armistice Day with the new Sunday observance, which was thereafter known as Remembrance Sunday.

In 1956 the date was fixed as the second Sunday of the month. In recent years Armistice Day has been revived as an additional occasion for silence, though Remembrance Sunday remains the main day of commemoration.
