It has been confirmed that The Queen will aim to attend a memorial service for her beloved husband Prince Philip.
In recent weeks the Queen has been forced to pull out of several high profile events, including Commonwealth Day, amid reports that the "frail" Queen has been using a wheelchair. But today, she is set to make an appearance at Westminster Abbey as she pays tribute to her late husband.
The thanksgiving service for the life of the Duke of Edinburgh will see members of the Royal Family come together to celebrate his life including Prince Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Today's event was the first public event, outside of her own residences, attended by the 95-year-old monarch this year. Pictures released last week showed The Queen standing with a walking stick in her first official face-to-face engagement with a number of people for more than seven weeks since her Platinum Jubilee reception at Sandringham House.
She contracted covid in February and also spent more than three months from October under doctors' orders to only conduct light duties.
