On Sunday, the 95-year-old will become the first British monarch to celebrate 70 years on the throne.
A day before reaching the landmark milestone, the Queen welcomed members of the local community and volunteer groups to her private residence in Norfolk, around 100 miles north of London.
Other guests invited to the monarch's home included members of the local Women's Institute, which she has been President of since 2003, as well as Sandringham Estate pensioners and their families, and representatives from local charities, Little Discoverers and West Norfolk Befriending. On her departure, the monarch was given a posy featuring flowers that formed part of her Coronation bouquet back in 1953, such as lily of the valley.
She has since been continuing to follow her doctor's guidance, carrying out light duties remotely by video link and phone and a few small in-person engagements.
