Buckingham Palace said the monarch has pulled out of the Epsom Derby and will instead watch it on television.
The third day of celebrations will include tributes from the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge at an open-air concert on Saturday evening local time.
The 96-year-old has had mobility problems and pulled out of the thanksgiving service after experiencing "discomfort" the day before.
Members of The Royal Family gathered today at @StPaulsLondon for a Service of Thanksgiving to celebrate The Queen’s #PlatinumJubilee.
