A Month-by-Month Guide to the Royal Appearances

The Royal Maundy Service is held on Maundy Thursday (the last Thursday before Easter) and commemorates Christ commanding his disciples to love one another. It's held in a different town every year and attended by the queen and pensioners who have served their local community.

While staying at Windsor, the queen marks Easter Sunday with a service at St. George's Chapel along with members of her family. Sophie Countess of Wessex is a regular.

On the Sunday closest to St. George's Day (April 23), the queen oversees a parade by the Scout Movement — of whom she is patron — at Windsor Castle.
