Just one day after announcing that she wasskipping her great-grandson, Prince Louis’ royal christening,Queen Elizabethwas back in action and in good spirits to mark the 100th birthday celebrations of the Royal Air Force on Tuesday.
The Queen andPrince Philipwere noticeably absent from Monday’s christening after the palace made the surprising announcement that the royal couple would not be in attendance. The decision, which was likely due to her busy schedule, was “mutually agreed” upon between the 92-year-old monarch andPrince WilliamandKate Middleton“some time ago,” a palace source tells PEOPLE.
The monarch just capped off a heavy work week and she has another one in the week ahead. In addition to Tuesday’s day-long event, she will alsohostPresident Donald Trumpat Windsor Castle on Friday.

On June 28, theQueen canceled an outing after complaining of feeling sick. The 92-year-old was set to attend a special church service to mark the bicentenary of an order of chivalry but was feeling “under the weather,” a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said.

Palace sources say there is no cause for any concern about the health of either her or Philip, 97, who officially retired from royal duties last year. The Queen was lively and all smiles at Tuesday’s event, which began with a service at Westminster Abbey and will continue with an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
