The 15-foot Christmas tree in the Great Gallery is a sight to behold and it will be there until 2 January 2022 for members of the public to admire.
Her Majesty's current residence of Windsor Castle hasn't been overlooked by the Christmas fairies, with a huge Christmas tree having been installed in St George's Hall.

The mammoth tree stands at 20 feet which is around the same height as the average two storey home in the UK! The photographs reveal that the decoration requires a huge operation with multiple ladders and multiple members of staff getting involved.
The tree was cut down from Windsor Great Park and will be there in all its glory until 3 January 2022 for visitors to see.
The monarch won't be taking the decorations down until 6 February though, as she keeps them up to mark the anniversary of her father's death.

King George VI passed away on 6 February 1952 at Sandringham House, and Her Majesty normally stays there each year to mark the anniversary in private.
This will be the first Christmas the Queen has spent without her late husband Prince Philip who sadly passed away on 9 April. While last Christmas the Queen remained at Windsor, it is believed that she plans to host members of the royal family at Sandringham in Norfolk this year, just as she normally would in pre-pandemic times.
