Zara and Mike Tindall arrived at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham for the Christmas Day service. Zara was seen walking alongside her brother, Peter Phillips, her youngest child, Lena Tindall, five, and Peter's daughter, Isla Phillips. Mike took the lead walking behind the Prince and Princess of Wales with their eldest of their two eldest children, Mia Grace, 10.
The couple's youngest child, Lucas Philip, three, was not seen at the service. He is thought to be too young to join the rest of the family.
The Firm made their traditional Christmas Day appearance just before the church service, which began just after 11am.
The royals were greeted by cheers from well-wishers who had gathered outside the church. The Queen, who is spending Christmas at Sandringham, did not attend the service.
After the service, the royals walked back to Sandringham House for a traditional Christmas lunch. The menu is said to include roast turkey, roast potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, and Christmas pudding.
The royals are expected to spend the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying each other's company.

The royal family helps to keep a sense of tradition alive in the UK. We need these moments of royal visibility!

Even if the Queen didn’t attend the service, the family still honors her by keeping up the traditions.

It's great to see the younger generation of royals, like Zara’s children, enjoying family time at Christmas.

Why are they privileged to have a Christmas lunch while others are struggling to put food on the table?

It's ridiculous that people cheer for them like they're celebrities. They don't even do much for the country.

Another year, another pointless royal Christmas. Can we focus on real issues instead?

The joy of children at the Christmas service is what makes it special. Love seeing Lena and Isla!
