Waving King and Queen attend New Year’s Eve Sandringham church service

The King and Queen waved at a crowd of onlookers as they arrived for a New Year’s Eve church service.

Charles and Camilla were greeted by the Bishop of Norwich, the Right Reverend Graham Usher, and Reverend Canon Dr Paul Rhys Williams at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham on Sunday morning.

Members of the public were photographed being searched by police as they waited to catch a glimpse of the royals.

It comes after the royal family marked Christmas Day by attending the traditional festive church service on the King’s Sandringham estate.

Among the Christmas Day group were the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and Zara and Mike Tindal, with daughters Mia and Lena.

Andrew’s daughters also attended the Christmas Day service with their husbands, Princess Beatrice with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Princess Eugenie with Jack Brooksbank.

The late Queen regularly attended Sunday services while staying at Sandringham.
