Queen Elizabeth II under doctor's, not starter's orders

Queen Elizabeth II, normally in robust health even at the age of 80, has scrapped a day at the races, 24 hours after making a rare withdrawal from a planned engagement because of a bad back.

PRINCE PHILIP STANDS IN FOR INJURED QUEEN AT STADIUM OPENING

When Prince Philip unveiled a plaque declaring Arsenal's new stadium open, onlookers might have been forgiven for feeling a little confused - as the inscription declared it was the Queen, not her husband, who had done the honours.

Well, I know she's 80, but this is taking a long time to heal if it really is just a muscle problem.

I am very concerned about her majesty too. once pple her age start getting sick-it goes downhill. This has to be serious when the queen is cancelling engagement---you know its really, really bad when her majesty misses racing so..... i certainly wish her a speedy recovery, but i also see her aging quickly now and I cant even think about england without queen elizabeth II. These back injuries can get more complicated particularly because of her age---but I have my fingers crossed I hope to see another 20yrs of her.

While I am very concered about the Queen's continued back troubles, I don't think the Queen is that bad off and as that old saying says "don't plan my funeral just yet." A strained back, while painful, is hardly fatal. She is 80 years old so her back is not going to heal as quickly. I think if anything, this is painful message to the Queen that she sould start reducing her workload. But honestly, I don't think we'll be singing God Save The King anytime soon. Even if she does suffer continuing problems, she will continue on like the Queen mother right until the end.

Besides if Her Majesty was really badly off, I think we would start hearing rumours and Charles would be flying home from Pakistan.

i know its hard for HM Queen have hurt her back but she need easy on her public engagement and im sure she need rest lots because she is 80 years old monarchy and who will replace for her like Prince of Wales or Duke of York,Earl of Wessex and Princess Anne for their Mother the Queen Elizabeth II on public engagement for open ceremony set-up but im sure Prince Charles will help his mother lots when he get home from Pakistan

Aha! Lord Rankin may have cracked this one. A back problem doesn't last this long. Maybe it's a carefully staged stunt to allow Charles to open Parliament for the Queen?

Princess Anne had to deputise for her at the most recent awards ceremony in BP - where Aussie, Rolf Harris, was invested with his OBE.

It was just shown on the morning news here.

Anne looked very nice I might add.
