Queen to miss service of thanksgiving after suffering discomfort

Jubilee Day 1 in pictures: Balcony, flypast, Trooping the Colour
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of day two of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
The Queen will not attend today's service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral after suffering discomfort during Thursday's celebrations.
Despite “immensely” enjoying Trooping the Colour and a spectacular flypast, the 96-year-old monarch announced “with great reluctance” last night that the journey to St Paul’s and the length of the service would make it too difficult to attend.
The last-minute decision followed a day of celebrations, with the Queen taking a salute from the balcony of the Buckingham Palace after Trooping the Colour and standing for the RAF fly-past.
Prince Andrew will also miss the ceremony after testing positive for Covid.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend the service. The last time the couple were surrounded by so many members of the Royal family was when they married at Windsor Castle in May 2018.
