And she just kept on drinking her coffee!

When he touched her, she just smiled and kept on drinking her coffee! Then she tactfully and quietly helped him to deal with all the silverware surrounding his place.

Wow amazing pics of the Queen. She looks so beautiful and happy

That must have been a serious nosebleed for HM. to be forced to cancel an engagement! She is one tough lady... glad she is OK!
And of course happy at the races!
Love her outfit and hat too!

This woman has stamina though.. she may have missed the service due to a nosebleed but did make it to the reception following the service. Not much is going to keep her down for long... that's for sure. Wish I could say the same!

 

[roseroyal]

There is no doubt in my mind that the Queen is a strong woman! And I guess she did not miss a whole engagement, just half! Not bad for almost 85!

She looks healthy and apparently happy. I'm glad she remains to attend to so many occasions. Her stamina and her wearing of apparel always impresses me and it leaves me wishing I could do and follow their way some more. I'm happy that she is happy, and I will wait only until her grandson is to wed and witness a life anew that she is to have bred. It's good to see she's fine. May you stay well for many more your Majesty. You are a lovely shining, shooting star. Bless you.

The exception that proves the rule?

Amazing how sweet and genuine her smile remains after 60 years and millions and millions of photographs...

Love this photo! Radiant!
Love the stylish new outfit too, especially the color combo, the fabric, and the hat.
Love seeing HM in new outfits!

 

[udyusa]

I totally agree on all three counts!! I could not have said it better..

 

[joye]

Great to see The Queen doing something she enjoys - horseracing, rather than a duty.
She certainly has earned some pleasures for herself.

Apparently the Queen Mother had a long history of nosebleeds in her old age, and had to get her nose cauterized in 1999. I'm glad to see the Queen is fine! You can't keep her down for long!

She looks remarkably youthful for someone about to turn 85 in a few days time.

I only hope I can do as much as the Queen does, If I live to be her age. Oueen Elizabeth is a remarkable woman.

 

[Renata4711]

Yes, she is a real trooper, IMO. Mind you, 85 is not that old....

 

[KittyAtlanta]

63 seems old to me, esp. when I try to do something! LOL

 

[wbenson]

I'm not sure about that. Only around half of women of her generation in England have lived to see age 85. (And less than a fifth of men in England live to Philip's age.)

Like the occasional bruising around the eyes that we see on both Philip and the Queen nosebleeds are also fairly common amongst older people as the capillaries in their face start to break more easily (actually throughout the body but more visible on the face). It is why older people appear to have a lot of bruises for which they can't account.
