The annual Order of the Garter service - a major event in the royal family calendar - has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
April 10, 2020 - 14:09 BST Sharnaz Shahid There's been another blow to this year's royal calendar as the annual Order of the Garter service has been cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where the ceremony takes place, has been closed until 30 June, which means this year's Order of the Garter Service scheduled for 15 June will not take place.The Queen is usually joined by members of the royal family for the annual service.
Knights of the Garter are chosen personally by the sovereign to honour those who have held public office, who have contributed in a particular way to national life or who have served the sovereign personally. These have included Marshal of the RAF, Lord Stirrup, and former Prime Ministers Sir John Major and Sir Winston Churchill.Last month, Buckingham Palace confirmed the Queen's birthday celebration, Trooping the Colour , had also been cancelled.
