The Queen has asked people in the UK to come together to protect our most vulnerable as the country battles against coronavirus COVID-19.
The monarch shared a message of solidarity shortly after she arrived at Windsor Castle with Prince Philip this afternoon.
Speaking about the difficulties ahead, as millions of people prepare to stay at home rather than going about their normal day-to-day lives, she said: "I am certain we are up to that challenge".
The Monarch's statement follows similar messages from Prince William, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
In her message, the Queen asked Brits to do a number of things during this difficult time.
To change our day-to-day routines
The Queen urges people to follow government guidelines to try to stop the spread.
People have been asked to refrain socialising and to only travel if it's completely necessary.
Anyone who can should work from home and schools will close next week.
While inconvenient, experts have said it's vital to save lives of those in the 'at risk' groups.
She said: "We are all being advised to change our normal routines and regular patterns of life for the greater good of the communities we live in and, in particular, to protect the most vulnerable within them."
To work together
She has also asked people to come together in their communities.
She said: "At times such as these, I am reminded that our nation’s history has been forged by people and communities coming together to work as one, concentrating our combined efforts with a focus on the common goal."
To support our emergency services and vital workers
While the majority of us are being asked to work from home, those that work in vital jobs still have to go in.
This means they're risking catching the virus and getting ill in order to help the rest of us carry on.
Doctors, nurses, delivery drivers, supermarket staff and other people are being widely praised, and the Queen has also urged us to support them.
She said: "We are enormously thankful for the expertise and commitment of our scientists, medical practitioners and emergency and public services; but now more than any time in our recent past, we all have a vitally important part to play as individuals - today and in the coming days, weeks and months."
To look out for our loved ones
The Queen's final message is perhaps her most powerful.
She asked people to reach out to their loved ones to ensure they are well and safe.
She also said that the Royal Family will be doing this too.
She said: "Many of us will need to find new ways of staying in touch with each other and making sure that loved ones are safe.
"I am certain we are up to that challenge. You can be assured that my family and I stand ready to play our part."
