Sandringham House was built in 1870 by the Prince and Princess of Wales, later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra.

The Queen came to Norfolk on Thursday, July 18 as part of her Golden Jubilee tour of the UK.

The highlight of her visit was a garden party for 4,000 guests at the Sandringham estate, the Royal Family's Norfolk home.

The party was the largest gathering on the west lawn at Sandringham since VE Day.

For the first time the Queen allowed live television cameras inside the private grounds - watch 麻豆社 Look East's broadcast.
