Royal dinner lady

The Queen played two very different roles on the last day of her winter break, receiving flowers on her visit to a church on the Sandringham estate before she turned dinner lady to hand out lunches to Sunday school children.

Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, she went to St Peter and St Paul's church in West Newton and greeted crowds who lined the streets to wish her well.

She then handed out prizes to children for their good attendance at church and brought them lunch of sausage and mash. Charlie Adams, who helps out at the Sunday school, said: "The Queen and the Duke spent a lot of time talking to the children and their parents.
