Video: Queen attends Christmas Day service at Sandringham Her Majesty missed Sunday's service at her Norfolk home as she was getting over a cold, but she appeared cheerful as she arrived for the 11am Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church on the Sandringham estate. The Queen, who wore a turquoise coat dress and matching hat, made the short journey from Sandringham House in a Bentley with princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. The Queen traditionally spends the festive period with her family gathered around her, but this year there will be some empty spaces around the table on Christmas Day. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are spending Christmas at the Middleton family home in Berkshire, while Prince Harry is celebrating Christmas with his British Army comrades in Afghanistan, where he is serving as an Apache helicopter pilot.
