The Queen returns to London following her extended festive break in Sandringham that was ruined by illness 


The Queen has made the journey back to London after her traditional winter break came to an end.

The 90-year-old monarch appeared in high spirits as she boarded a train at King's Lynn station in Norfolk.

She wore a lime green coat and dress for the occasion, accessorising with a brightly patterned headscarf and teaming the outfit with a black patent handbag and matching shoes.

The Queen traditionally spends the Christmas and New Year period at her private Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

Yesterday, the head of state made history by becoming the first British monarch to reach their Sapphire Jubilee. It was 65 years to the day since the Queen accended to the throne following the death of her father, George VI, on February 6 1952.

As she has in previous years, the Queen spent Accession Day privately at Sandringham.

At King's Lynn station, the Queen appeared to have fully recovered from the heavy cold that blighted the start of her break and forced her to miss church over Christmas.

She chatted amiably with her companions in the first-class carriage as she began her journey home. 

During the festive period, the Queen was still working on her famous red box of official papers.

The red boxes, sent to her by her private secretaries, contain policy papers, cabinet documents, telegrams, letters and other state papers from government ministers and representatives in Commonwealth and foreign countries.
