Earlier in the week, she announced that she had pulled out of all royal engagements as she battled a chest infection.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “Her Majesty the Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest.
“With great regret, Her Majesty has therefore had to withdraw from her engagements for this week, but she very much hopes to be recovered in time to attend this weekend’s Remembrance events as normal.
“She apologises to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.”
