Britain's Queen Elizabeth II canceled her participation in the traditional World War II commemoration in London on Sunday.
The reason for this is back problems, said the palace.
The date would have been the first official appearance of the 95-year-old since a hospital stay.
The Queen is "disappointed" that she missed the event, it is said.
In October the Queen had spent one night in a London hospital.
She was then given two weeks of rest.
The Queen then canceled her participation in the World Climate Conference in Glasgow and sent a video message.
