Queen Elizabeth heads to Scotland for 'Royal Week'
The Channel News Asia reported, citing Reuters, Britain's Queen Elizabeth made her first public appearance on Monday (June 27) since nationwide celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee three weeks ago, travelling to Scotland for the annual "Royal Week" of events.
The 96-year-old monarch, holding a walking stick, smiled happily as she took part in the Ceremony of the Keys at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, her official residence in Edinburgh, in which she is offered the keys to the city.
While Elizabeth continues to perform official engagements, often remotely, she now infrequently carries out duties in public because of what Buckingham Palace says are "episodic mobility issues".
