The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were this afternoon picked up by helicopter from Buckingham Palace to begin their Christmas break at Sandringham after cancelling plans to travel yesterday due to heavy colds. The 90-year-old monarch's official flight landed in the palace garden shortly after 1.15pm to collect the couple for the hour-long journey to her private Norfolk estate. Royal aides were forced to cancel plans for them to travel by train at the last minute yesterday morning after doctors deemed them too unwell to go. But today, just over 24 hours later, the royal couple took off from Buckingham Palace by helicopter. The Queen and Prince Philip landed in Sandringham at around 2.30pm this afternoon (left). They are pictured right opening the new East Anglian Air Ambulance base at Cambridge Airport on July 13 this year, having also travelled by helicopter.
