    The royal family has paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth on the second anniversary of her death

    Its official social media account posted a photograph on X of the late monarch wearing a pink hat and matching outfit as she smiled during a summer Buckingham Palace garden party in 2019 - three years before she died at her beloved Balmoral estate in Scotland aged 96.


    It was captioned: "Remembering Queen Elizabeth II, 1926-2022."

    The post was made on Sunday (08.09.24), exactly two years on from Elizabeth's death, which saw her son Charles made king.

    Her death came a year after the passing of her husband Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, aged 99 in 2021.

    Before her death, the Queen was struggling with her mobility and was forced to use a wheelchair behind the scenes to make it onto the Palace balcony to mark her Jubilee celebrations before her death.

    Her death certificate revealed she died at 3.10pm, with the cause listed as old age.

    It was followed by the ex ecution of a plan known as London Bridge to honour her life, with parades, vigils, a lying in state and a state funeral in Westminster Abbey being held.

    She is buried alongside her husband Philip, as well as her parents and sister Princess Margaret's ashes in the King George VI Memorial Chapel at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

    Charles, 75, continued his return to public life on Sunday amid his cancer battle by commemorating the second anniversary of her death by attending a church service in Scotland alongside his wife Queen Camilla, 77.

    The visit came a day after Charles' health is said to be heading in a "very positive" direction.

    He revealed earlier this year he was battling an unnamed form of cancer which was detected after he went into hospital for a routine operation to correct an enlarged prostate, and a royal source said he is well on the road to recovery.

    An insider told the Daily Mail Charles has also coped with the past year - which has also seen his daughter-in-law Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, have preventative cancer treatment - with a "determination to be as public as he was able" about his fight to reassure the nation about his capabilities as king.

    They added: "Health has to remain the number one priority, albeit heading in a very positive trajectory."
