The Queen will not
attend the Jubilee garden parties held at Buckingham Palace to mark her 70th year on the throne.

The events are a staple part of the Royal Family’s social calendar, but the Queen has not been present for some time.

At the age of 96, Her Majesty has largely stepped back from public life, conducting meetings remotely and permanently
moving to Windsor Castle. Report by Barberl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
