Queen in hospital with stomach bug, Buckingham Palace says

The Queen is in hospital as a precaution, while she is assessed for symptoms of gastroenteritis, Buckingham Palace says.

The Queen is said to be in "good spirit
 She was struck with the stomach bug on Friday and was forced to pull out of engagements for the coming week, but the 86-year-old was "otherwise in good health", according to a spokesman

She is likely to stay at the hospital for two days, so she has been forced to cancel a visit to HMS Lancaster in London on Monday and a reception for MPs and MEPs at Buckingham Palace will now be hosted by another member of the royal family.

Quick recovery Her majesty the Queen of England
