The Queen has stepped down from her Remembrance Sunday duties

Her Majesty will instead watch the ceremony from the balcony on Sunday, November 12, as son Prince Charles lays her wreath. It will be the first time the 91 year old has not taken part in the traditions, but she has not laid wreaths in six previous ceremonies.

Buckingham Palace has not given any reason for the change up, simply explaining she wants to be beside husband Prince Philip, on the day. A statement released from officials explained: "The Queen wishes to be alongside the Duke of Edinburgh and he will be in the balcony."
