William and Kate have arrived at Sandringham estate to greet well-wishers and look at tributes left to the Queen. Thousands of mourners have visited the Norfolk estate, where the Her Majesty traditionally spent Christmas, to leave flowers and cards since her death last Thursday.
The Prince and Princess of Wales visited the main gates to Sandringham House just after midday to view the piles of tributes left for the late monarch. The couple were pictured greeting well-wishers and collecting flowers and notes to place on their behalf, the Mirror reports.
News of the pair's impending arrival was reported on Thursday morning, with hundreds of visitors gathering behind metal barriers. Norfolk Police stated that an ‘increasing number’ of people were expected, with a one-way system put in place by officers to guide crowds around the estate.
William and Kate's appearance comes as grieving members of the Royal Family travel across the country to view floral tributes and meet well-wishers, as they continue to mourn the Queen. Elsewhere, Prince Edward and the Queen's close daughter-in-law Sophie Wessex are in Manchester, where they have lit a candle in memory of Her Majesty at the city’s cathedral.
They viewed the floral tributes and mingled with fans in St Ann’s Square and looked at the book of condolence at Manchester’s Central Library. Here, they are meeting representatives of organisations of which the Queen was patron.
Meanwhile, Princess Anne, accompanied by her husband Sir Tim Laurence is visiting the Glasgow City Chambers. She was pictured talking to Holly McBride, four, from Glasgow, during a visit to the City Chambers also to meet representatives of organisations of which Queen Elizabeth II was Patron.
