<p>Despite her advancing years the Queen has continued her busy working life &#8211; carrying out, on average, at least one official engagement each day of 2010.</p>
<p>Figures published in The Times newspaper indicate the 84-year-old monarch conducted 387 visits, opening ceremonies and other engagements in 2010 &#8211; 12 more than she was involved with in 2009.</p>
<p>Long past retirement age, summer is the Queen&#8217;s busiest season, and includes attending the Royal Windsor Horse Show, Royal Ascot, Trooping the Colour and three garden parties at Buckingham Palace.</p>
<p>Her winter calendar programme has included attending the Royal Variety and Film Performances, along with broadcasting her annual Christmas message to the nation.</p>
<p>In November, with the Duke of Edinburgh, she was involved in a five-day state visit to Abu Dhabi &#8211; the couple&#8217;s second state visit to the UAE, the first having taken place in 1979.</p>
<p>The aim of the visit was to help strengthen Britain&#8217;s ties with the region.</p>
<p>The Duke also had a busy year, notching up 308 official engagements in 2010.</p>
<p>The busiest Royal was the Prince of Wales, who was involved with a total 499 official engagements throughout the year, including opening the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi in September.</p>
<p>Prince William carried out 73 engagements, which included 45 overseas, and Prince Harry 53, which included 38 overseas.</p>
<p>Tim O&#8217;Donovan, who compiles a survey of the official engagements undertaken by the Royal Family each year, says except for Christmas Day and Easter Day, the Queen never has a day off from the official red boxes which pursue her everywhere.</p>
