The Monarch was due to attend a service for the Royal Victorian Order at St
|
||
George's chapel in Windsor on Wednesday morning.
|
||
|
||
The event is held every four years and is attended by around 1,200 people.
|
||
|
||
It honours those who have dedicated personal service to the Queen and is the
|
||
most important engagement she has cancelled since 2006.
|
||
|
||
The Queen recovered in time to attend the reception afterwards held in state
|
||
reception rooms.
|
||
|
||
She is due to celebrate her 85th birthday next week but still maintains a full
|
||
diary of public and state engagements.
