Who is Queen ?
The Queen arrived in Norfolk after making a special pilgrimage ahead of the 70th anniversary of her father's death while staying at Prince Philips' beloved Wood Farm country home for the first time without him.
The 95-year-old monarch usually spends the festive period at Sandringham, but she has remained at Windsor Castle since the autumn as a covid precaution and she held silent Christmas celebrations with close family last month.
However, in preparation for her father George VI's birthday in 1952, the Queen made a special helicopter trip followed by a short drive to Norfolk.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: "Everything is getting in order for the Queen's visit.
"We've been told that she will be staying at Wood Farm, rather than the main house, which is good, as she always had a special place in her heart."
The Queen has stayed in the cottage before, but it will be the first time since Philip died in April last year.
The last time she visited the estate was in early November and normally she would have spent the weekend after Halloween at Sandringham with Philip and she didn't want to miss out.
However, just a week later, aides at Buckingham Palace were forced to announce that it was "with a heavy heart" that the Queen would be unable to attend the Remembrance Sunday parade at the Cenotaph due to a "back sprain".
