Her Majesty will not take her usual seat at Crathie Kirk to stop groups congregating outside, following a Covid spike

She normally joins the congregation at nearby Crathie Kirk but will not take her seat to stop large groups of people congregating outside.

Lockdown measures have been reintroduced in Aberdeen after an outbreak of a coronavirus.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said arrangements for the Queen’s stay in Scotland “will be in line with the relevant guidelines and advice”.

Face coverings are to be made mandatory in more indoor places across Scotland following the spike.

The Queen’s annual visit to Balmoral Castle was already expected to be different due to restrictions.

Crathie Kirk is a regular place of worship for the royal family when they are in residence at the estate.
