The Queen has made a vow as she issued her Commonwealth Day message on Monday.
Her Majesty, 95, didn’t attend the ceremony at Westminster Abbey today as she’s reportedly been struggling with mobility issues.
On Monday, Prince Charles and Camilla joined Prince William and Kate Middleton at the service.
However, the Queen still marked the occasion and issued a message ahead of the ceremony.

“…that my life will always be devoted in service.

Buckingham Palace recently confirmed the Queen wouldn’t be attending the Commonwealth Day service.

This is so she can attend the memorial service for her late husband Prince Philip later this month.
