Queen travels to Scotland for keys ceremony

THE Queen was today continuing her comeback as she travelled to Scotland to take part in the Ceremony of the Keys.

The ancient ceremony takes place on the forecourt of the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh as part of Holyrood Week, also known as Royal Week, each summer.

As part of the tradition, the monarch is handed the keys of the city. She was being accompanied by the Earl and Countess of Wessex.

Unspecified “mobility problems” kept her from attending some Platinum Jubilee events this month, and she was often seen using a stick during engagements.

But she was seen meeting Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at Windsor Castle last week without the aid of a stick.
