The Queen was missing from the gathering but the Duchess of Cambridge said later she had enjoyed Thursday’s historic Platinum Jubilee celebrations but the day had been “very tiring”. The 96-year-old Queen watched the service on television from Windsor Castle after she suffered “discomfort” following a busy first day of festivities including a double balcony appearance and a beacon lighting. Royal horsewoman the Princess Royal nodded in approval as the Archbishop suggested the Queen’s long reign had “certainly, less dressage than most people imagine”. Ms Smallwood told the PA news agency: “She said, ‘yes, she was fine, it was just very tiring yesterday, and she had had a lovely, lovely time’.” Before confirmation was given the Queen would not attend the Derby, her hopes of having a winner at Epsom were ended when her horse Just Fine was withdrawn from the World Pool Northern Dancer Handicap.
