(Source: Twitter/@RoyalFamily)The Queen was recently seen wearing a mask during one of her public appearances. It is significant because while she has been photographed these last few months, this is the very first time that the British monarch was seen in a mask, ever since the beginning of the pandemic this year.
The Queen was clicked at the Westminster Abbey on Saturday (November 7) to mark the centenary of the burial of one ‘Unknown Warrior’, who was an anonymous soldier who fought during the First World War. The Independent reports that the body — whose remains are unidentified — represents all the British soldiers who died while serving their country during the war. It is believed to have been brought from France to be buried in England on November 7, 1920.

On the afternoon of 8 November, the Unknown Warrior began his final journey home. A short service was held in the chapel at St Pol before the coffin was driven to Boulogne, the route lined with British and French troops. pic.twitter.com/atuZoUifkU
