The Queen has been spotted out and about for the first time since spending a night in hospital.
She was seen today driving her car around her Windsor estate, the same day she had been due to attend the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow.
Her Majesty was wearing a head scarf and dark glasses as she sat at the wheel of her green Jaguar that she usually uses to ferry her dogs around in.
On Friday it was revealed that the 95-year-old had cancelled all working visits for the next two weeks and had been advised to stick to “light, desk-based duties”.
It means several of her royal engagements have been cancelled, including the COP26 climate change conference which starts today.
The Queen, who has recently used a walking stick for the first time on royal visits, is recovering after she had tests and spent a night in hospital last month.
Royal aides insisted the Queen is in “good spirits” and stressed her medical team is simply taking “sensible precautions” with its latest advice.
Buckingham Palace said on Friday doctors had advised Her Majesty to “continue to rest for at least the next two weeks”.

It added the Queen had been advised she “can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties during this time...but not to undertake any official visits”.
The Palace added the Queen will “regretfully” not attend the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall a week on Saturday.
But it is her “firm intention” to be at the Cenotaph in London on Remembrance Sunday.
Details of the Queen’s condition have been sparse, but Boris Johnson yesterday revealed she was “on very good form” when they spoke this week.
Speaking in Rome, ahead of the G20 summit at the weekend, the Prime Minister added: “Everybody wishes her all the very best.”
The Queen last appeared in public almost two weeks ago and has only carried out virtual engagements since.
Last week she virtually presented a Gold Medal for Poetry to English poet David Constantine.
Wearing a floral dress and a pearl necklace, the monarch looked in good spirits as she spoke to the wordsmith.
She told him: "I'm very glad to have the chance to see you if only mechanically this morning."
Earlier in the week, she held two virtual audiences - one with the Ambassador from the Republic of Korea and another with the Ambassador from the Swiss Confederation.
At Cop26 today, where she was due to host a reception for world leaders, she will instead send a video message.
Other royals that will be at the reception this evening are Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
