The Queen was blooming lovely in peach as she braved the cold to attend church in West Newton, close to the Sandringha­m estate.

Her Majesty was greeted by a crowd of about 200 wellwisher­s, and stopped to accept flowers from children and fans.

Maggie Anderson (67) and her four-year-old granddaugh­ter offered the Queen (92) some orange and white roses. “She said, ‘Thank you so much, they match’, which was nice. It made our day,” said Maggie.

The Duke of Edinburgh, who is officially retired, did not attend the service, maintainin­g a lower profile since his car crash in January, where he collided

with an oncoming car.
