| The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have attended a church service on the eve of the Diamond Jubilee anniversary of her accession to the throne.
They joined the congregation at West Newton Church in the monarch's private Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
On Monday the Queen will have served 60 years as monarch, on the anniversary of the death of her father, George VI.
The milestone will be marked by several events in the coming months, with the main celebrations taking place in June.
The Queen attended a 45-minute service led by the Rev Jonathan Riviere before visiting a local Sunday school class and receiving flowers outside from waiting children.
Accession Day on 6 February is always tinged with sadness for the monarch as it is the day her father George VI died.
