Even at the age of 95, there can be no question of retirement for Queen Elizabeth. Now the monarch was walking with a walker on one of her many appointments.
London – For the first time in many years, Queen Elizabeth II (95) used a cane as a walking aid at a major public appearance.
The British Queen used the device on Tuesday at a memorial service in London’s Westminster Abbey, as can be seen in photos. She was accompanied by her daughter Princess Anne. British media reported it was the first time the Queen had used a cane for non-medical reasons.
The walker was given to the monarch after she got out of her limousine. Then the Queen went to her seat. She also used the aid on the way back. As the PA news agency reported, their car did not stop at the main portal of the cathedral, but at an entrance from which it is closer to their place. The measures would be for your convenience, PA continued. The palace did not want to comment on the help.
In 2003 and 2004, the Queen used a stick after a knee operation. Since then, however, she has always moved without a walker. The Daily Mail speculated that the stick should help her over the uneven pavement at the entrance. dpa
