It has long been a cherished royal tradition - the royals making their way to their annual Christmas Day service at Sandringham. The occasion has become something of a photo opportunity, with the royals donning their finest attire and greeting well-wishers lining the path to St Mary Magdalene Church.

Aside from a few years when the Royal Family celebrated at Windsor, they have consistently gathered at Sandringham House - a private royal residence since 1862 and home to four generations of British monarchs. As the head of the Church of England, Queen Elizabeth II regularly attended the service, following in the footsteps of her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, who also worshipped there.

Known for her colourful and coordinated style, Queen Elizabeth often wore vibrant coats paired with matching hats, heirloom brooches and classic pearl jewellery.

Her dresser, Angela Kelly, designed a spectrum of looks, frequently accessorised with the Queen's signature Launer handbag and Anello & Davide loafers. Without fail, the royal selected a pair of button earrings, inherited from her grandmother Queen Mary, and a three-strand pearl necklace, which she commissioned in 1952.
