The late Queen Elizabeth II always went to Sandringham for the Christmas holidays and used to keep her decorations up until February - for a heartbreaking reason
The late Queen used to keep her Christmas decorations up until February, unlike the rest of us who pack away our festive decor in early January. The Queen would spend her Christmas holidays at Sandringham and stay there until early February to mark the anniversary of her father George VI's death, who passed away in his sleep on February 6.
For the first time, a living tree was used as part of the backdrop for Charles' annual festive address to the nation and Commonwealth. The tree, adorned with natural and sustainable decorations, was replanted after the broadcast on Christmas Day.
