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."

The Queen will miss the Field of Remembrance tomorrow, but she is hoping to be able to attend Remembrance events scheduled for this weekend.
