JAKARTA - Britain's Queen Elizabeth II will attend the Remembrance Day Service on Sunday this weekend, Buckingham Palace said, marking her first involvement in a public event after the Queen spent the night in the hospital last month and was then asked to rest.

Last month the 95-year-old queen spent the night in hospital for the first time in years for what the palace called a "preliminary investigation" into an unspecified illness.

Queen Elizabeth II was then advised to take a break, despite having carried out light errands over the past few weeks, including hosting several virtual audiences.

"The Queen will attend the annual Remembrance Day Service at the Cenotaph on Sunday, November 14," Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Thursday about the ceremony to remember those killed and wounded in the conflict, cited from Reuters, November 12.

"In light of her recent doctor's advice, the Queen has decided not to attend the General Synod Service and Opening Session on Tuesday, November 16," the statement continued.

Queen Elizabeth, who is the leader of 15 other countries under the Commonwealth, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand, next year celebrating 70 years to the throne, is known for her strong health.

Despite her reputation for continuing to perform a series of public duties in her advanced age, Queen Elizabeth II has pulled out of a number of events in recent times, including the COP26 climate summit and a visit to Northern Ireland as a precautionary measure following her illness, which is unrelated to COVID-19.

However, the palace said the world's oldest and longest-serving royal leader had "strong intentions" to attend a major national memorial service for veterans.

For information, heir to the throne Prince Charles said of Queen Elizabeth II's condition "she is fine" when asked how her mother was by an investigator during a visit in south London on Thursday.
