Queen Elizabeth misses New Year Day's church service

Queen Elizabeth will not be attending this year's New Year Day's church service as she continues to recover from her cold, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said. “The Queen does not yet feel ready to attend church as she is still recuperating from a heavy cold,” the palace said in a statement. The monarch and her husband Prince Philip have been feeling ill throughout the holidays, delaying their usual traditions. The 90-year-old queen missed Christmas Day church service due to the same cold only a week ago.
