The Queen braved the cold to attend the first Sunday church service of the year at Sandringham.

The monarch, wearing a fawn coat and hat, travelled to St Mary Magdalene Church by car but was joined by royals including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who walked to the service.

The family were greeted by well-wishers hoping to catch a glimpse of the royals as they entered the church.
