Carols for UK royals as they thank volunteers

The 94-year-old monarch, wearing a bright red outfit, was joined by her eldest son and heir Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, along with daughter Princess Anne and youngest son Prince Edward for the occasion, one of the few times the royals have appeared together in public since the coronavirus outbreak.

Grandson Prince William and his wife Kate were also present, the event coming at the conclusion of their whistle-stop train tour of the nation to thank front-line workers, care home staff and teachers for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the Welsh capital of Cardiff earlier on Tuesday (December 8), as well as the English cities of Bath and Reading.
