Queen attends church after illness

The Queen has attended church for the first time in 2017 and the first time since a heavy cold kept her away from services over the festive period.
Dressed in royal blue, the monarch arrived at St Mary Magdalene church, on her Sandringham estate on Sunday, having missed her regular appearances on Christmas Day and New Year's Day because of the lingering respiratory illness.




She fell ill a week before Christmas along with the Duke of Edinburgh. They were forced to delay their journey from Buckingham Palace to their Norfolk estate.

Speaking about the illness, Royal historian Kate Williams said: "She has this incredible health, she barely misses an engagement...she's so strong.
"I think that's why we expect to be this non-stop, super woman, always well.
"The fact that she falls prey to a cold is quite surprising."
