Prince Philip, 96, led the way this morning as the royal family arrived at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Sandringham, for a special Christmas Eve service.

The Duke of Edinburgh, with Prince Andrew by his side, looked in festive spirits as he strode past a small army of police officers at the royal estate.

Shortly after, the Queen, dressed in a pale blue skirt-suit and glamorous hat, was seen stepping out of her royal car to greet well-wishers who'd made the journey to see the royals assemble together ahead of celebrations at Sandringham tomorrow.

Her Majesty, 91, arrived with a smiling Sophie Wessex who donned an eye-catching bright red coat and sharp black hat.

The Queen kept warm during the short journey with a warm mid-blue blanket covering her legs as she prepared to step out into the brisk Norfolk morning.

I guess no appearance of Harry & Meghan until Christmas day.   :wink:

I like the fact that the Queen had a bunch of daffodils. Daffodils are a true sign of Spring!

People across the country are still making the most of the Christmas break by spending time with family - and the Queen is no exception.

Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh were joined at church in Sandringham this morning by family members including Sophie and her husband Edward and Princess Anne.

The monarch, 91, brightened up a dull morning in a teal coat with black collar and a matching hat as she was chauffeured to church with her daughter-in-law Sophie Wessex, 52, who looked smart in a checked coat.

Her husband Edward joined his father the Duke of Edinburgh, 96, on foot who chatted to Princess Anne as they made their way to the service.

At the age of 96, he would be forgiven for putting his feet up on a Sunday morning.

But the Duke of Edinburgh, shows he is keen to stay active as he walked to church at Sandringham today.

Prince Philip wrapped up against the cold in a long coat as he made the short journey to St Mary Magdalene Church.

The Queen and other royals head to church in Castle Rising | Daily Mail Online

Temperatures dropped across the UK today with some parts experiencing snow, but that wasn't enough to deter the royals from attending their traditional Sunday church service.

The Queen braved a smattering of snow as she was joined by Prince Philip and granddaughters Beatrice and Eugenie at St Lawrence Church, Castle Rising this morning.

Her Majesty looked her elegant best in an emerald ensemble complete with matching coat and hat as she headed into the chapel, and could later be seen leaving the building with an umbrella after the heavens opened.

While her husband, youngest son and granddaughters were covered with a light dusting of snow, the monarch looked relieved to be protected from the elements underneath her brolly.

Prince Philip shows he's 96-years-young striding to church | Daily Mail Online

Prince Philip belied his 96 years as he strode purposefully towards St Mary Magdalene Church at Sandringham this morning.

While the Queen, elegant in a powder-blue dress coat and matching hat with nature-inspired detail, opted for the warmer option of staying in her maroon Bentley, the Duke of Edinburgh looked more than happy to take the air.

Accompanied by a female companion, Prince Philip looked in good spirits as he walked the 400-yard route past well-wishers who'd gathered to spot the royals, including Princess Anne, who joined husband Sir Timothy Laurence and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester at the 16th century church.

Queen and Prince Philip stride out together in winter sun | Daily Mail Online

After a series of rain-soaked weekends, the Queen and Prince Philip were finally able to stroll to church this morning in bright Norfolk sunshine.

Looking striking in a deep red coat with matching dress, feathered hat and a ruby-encrusted gold brooch, the Queen, 91, appeared happy to be taking the fresh air, even stopping to pick up several winter-themed bouquets from well-wishers in the crowd.

Behind her, the Duke of Edinburgh, who turns 97 later this year, also looked to be on fine form and enjoying the break in the clouds as he entered the grounds of St Peter and St Paul's Church in the village of West Newton.

The flower bouquets that are presented to Queen Elizabeth are absolutely splendid!
