Members of the royal family have arrived for the traditional Christmas Day church service in Sandringham.
The King and Queen led the walk to St Mary Magdalene Church, past a crowd of well-wishers.
Charles and Camilla both waved and smiled at members of the public who had queued to catch a glimpse of the royals.
Also among those present were the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The Prince of Wales divulged last year he was spending the day with 45 members of his family “all in one room”.

Andrew has recently made a slew of headlines following the latest release of so-called “Epstein files”. He vehemently denies any wrongdoing.

Last year, Charles used his Christmas address to pay tribute to the “selfless” doctors and nurses who provided “strength, care and comfort” during cancer treatment for him and the Princess of Wales.
Their Christmas Day celebrations come after the Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte’s pre-recorded Christmas piano duet aired.
The mother and daughter sat together to play a piece they know well by Scottish composer Erland Cooper, for Kate’s Christmas carol concert.
Kate and Charlotte’s piano performance was for the Together at Christmas concert, held at Westminster Abbey on 5 December, and was pre-recorded last week so did not feature at the live event – but it was aired as part of the ITV1 screening of the service on Christmas Eve.

The family-of-five experienced a major change just a few weeks ago when they moved into their eight-bedroom “forever home”, Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park.
The change is seen as a fresh start for the Waleses after Kate’s recovery from cancer, which she announced at the start of 2025, following what William branded a “brutal” 2024.

Some had travelled from overseas including Sara Morelli, 27, who runs a British royal family memorabilia business in Modena, Italy.
She joked “I’m spending my Christmas with the royal family” adding: “I like Prince William and Princess Catherine and I have big love for Queen Elizabeth.
“The princess is very empathetic, she has empathy for people and that is something I love. William is very friendly and of course I love his mother, Lady Diana she was a very important woman.”
