The queen has had trouble moving around in recent months, and has pulled out of many public events.
But Elizabeth took part Thursday night in lighting a chain of ceremonial beacons at Windsor Castle as planned.
The queen, wearing a dusky dove blue dress designed by Angela Kelly, was joined on the balcony by more than a dozen royals — though not Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who gave up front-line royal duties two years ago. The couple traveled to London from their home in California with their two young children to take a low-key part in the celebrations, and watched Thursday’s Trooping the Color with other members of the family.
