Wearing a multicoloured Hermes headscarf and a large grey woollen coat, Queen Elizabeth II was photographed taking the train to Norfolk on Thursday for her Christmas break.
The 10.45 from King's Cross station in London dropped her off at King's Lynn station for a quiet Christmas holiday with husband Prince Philip and other members of the royal family at her private Sandringham estate.
The Queen arrived 10 minutes before departure and went unnoticed by passing commuters as she walked down platform 11 before climbing on to a first class compartment.
The 95-minute journey costs 44.40 pounds for a first class ticket. The Queen took a window seat.
