The Queen held a face-to-face audience with General Sir Nick Carter, the Chief of the Defence Staff in the Oak Room at Windsor Castle, joined also by one of the royal corgis.

The engagement came three days after the Queen missed the national Remembrance service at the Cenotaph due to a sprained back. Report by Lewisl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
