95-year old Queen uses walking stick for first time while attending Westminster service
The 95-year-old Queen was handed the stick after stepping from her state limousine for a Westminster Abbey service this morning, and appeared to be moving freely as she walked to her seat for the start of the service.
She used the stick again as she left. It is believed to be the first time she has used a walking aid at a major public event.
The Queen, who is the Royal British Legion’s patron, did not arrive by the traditional great west door but via the poet’s yard entrance, a shorter route to her seat.
Both developments are understood to be tailored for the Queen’s comfort.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
