The Queen will not attend the Commonwealth Games in India in October, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
It will be the first time in decades she will not be at the sporting event - previously she has attended at some point during the games, either for the opening or closing ceremony.
Prince Charles will represent the Royal Family instead.
Buckingham Palace said the Queen would not be able to attend because of the volume of her engagements this autumn.
The Queen is the head of the Commonwealth, which marked its 60th anniversary in 2009.
