Apparently it was a diary error and Prince Philip was never meant to attend this event, he's fine at Sandringham.
 
According to The Sunday Times, the US State visit will take place in June.

THis is for information only, not for response as the proper thread is closed.

The Queen seemed to be in especially high spirits today as she prepares to become the first monarch to reach a sapphire jubilee tomorrow.

Her Majesty seemed as spiritely as ever as she arrived a church service at St Peter and St Paul West Newton in Norfolk this morning.

The monarch, 90, could barely take the smile off her face as she greeted well-wishers awaiting her arrival.

Queen all smiles on walkabout ahead of Sapphire Jubilee - ITV News
Well-wishers were greeted with a smile as the Queen went on a walkabout on the eve of becoming the first British monarch to reach their Sapphire Jubilee.

The 90 year-old was handed bouquets from the waiting crowds after the church service at St Peter and St Paul in West Newton, Norfolk.

Monday will mark 65 years to the day since Elizabeth II came to the throne.

I was about to post about this in the General News thread (since this is not a current event) but since you as administrator have postet about here, then I assume that it's okay to post about it here.

Our Sapphire Queen looked great:

Traditionally the Queen spends Christmas and the new year period at her private Sandringham estate.

This winter there were concerns as Her Majesty suffered from a heavy cold which forced her to miss church over Christmas, however she appeared to be in good health today as she made her way back to London.

This must be an innocent mistake, for if there is a person in this country who doesn't know that Her Majesty is 90, that person must be deaf-blind.
 
When she makes these trips, does she ride regular first class, or is a car from her train attached to the scheduled train that is running?

That is a std first class carriage which is added to a scheduled train for her use only.
 
It's silly, I know, but I always hope she loves the train as much as I do. The gentle rocking and sound of a train can feel so comforting/civilized. And one need never know road rage! :lol:

A first to my eye. Her makeup is noticeably unblended to the neck area. Or looks that way in the light in this room.
 
The Duke of Edinburgh has backed a pioneering new project that aims to reduce London bus emissions.

On his first solo engagement after a bout of ill health, Prince Philip — who drove an electric car in the Sixties and also owned an eco-friendly Metrocab— visited Vantage Power in Greenford.

Its scheme involves fitting a new engine and gear box to existing vehicles and is being trialled by Transport for London in six buses.

Philip, 95, praised the project, which cuts emissions while increasing efficiency by up to 40 per cent.

The Queen looks lovely in her blue & white dress! I would have gone with a different color shoe, but she is 90 years old after all, so she is going to wear what she feels most comfortable and sure-footed wearing. I do the same & I am less than half her age! ;)

She seems more stooped over than usual, but still seems to be in great shape! :)

I agree, she looked great. I think she was wearing the Albert brooch and it just shined with her smile. Yes, she's showing her age, but she wears it well.
