*Queen Elizabeth makes first appearance in 2017 after heavy cold

  

  The Queen has made her first public appearance of 2017 after ill-health affected her during the festive season.
She attended the morning church service at St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham, Norfolk yesterday.
   Buckingham Palace said she was "recuperating" from a heavy cold. There were concerns about the monarch's health after she missed services on Christmas Day and New Year's Day, which she normally attends with other members of the royal family.
    The Queen, alongside Prince Philip, was joined by other members of the royal family, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as well as the Middleton family at the service.
