The annual Christmas Day walk to church at Sandringham today saw the Royal Family colour coordinating in reds and browns.
The King and Queen led the group from Sandringham House to St Mary Magdalene Church, with Camilla choosing her raspberry pip brooch on a festive red coat, with matching hat. Charles was in one of his long-standing tan coats over a suit.
They were followed behind by Princess Anne (also in vibrant red) and Sir Tim Lawrence, then Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, walking with The Duke of Edinburgh.
Eugenie chose a cape coat in a tartan check with brown handbag and boots.

Zara and Mike Tindall came next, with the equestrienne in a black coat and burgundy accessories, walking with their daughters, Mia and Lena.
The Prince and Princess of Wales held hands with Prince Louis, flanked by Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who politely smiled for the crowds. Catherine was in a tartan coat, while Charlotte was wearing a cream coat with brown velvet trim.

We then saw The Duchess of Edinburgh with The Earl of Wessex and Lady Louise, Sophie sporting another check coat in reds and purples with velvet trim, paired with a matching pillbox hat, while Louise opted for a beige coat.
Princess Beatrice and Edo Mapelli Mozzi brought up the rear, the Princess in a check trench coat in tones of red and brown accessorised with a red pillbox hat.
Neither Eugenie or Beatrice had their children with them, all being under five.

Of course, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was absent, but the presence of his daughters appears to show support for them and their close ties to the family, which has been contested in recent months.
The Christmas walk is an annual tradition, where crowds gather from the early morning to see the Royal Family. It is the second service of the morning at the church, the first being an early communion, which is more formal.
It was actually at Windsor that Elizabeth II usually spent Christmas, up until the late 1980s. She decided to go to Norfolk for Christmas, and this seems to coincide with works that began in 1988 on the ancient castle; the tradition has endured ever since.
As Head of the Church of England, it is an important date in The King’s diary from a personal perspective, as well as one to publicly demonstrate his faith.
After greeting the crowds who had waited to see them, the family headed back to the main house for a Christmas lunch, followed by games and later, a formal dinner.
