The monarch was pictured leaving Windsor Castle in a Range Rover, before travelling by helicopter to Sandringham for her 96th birthday. It is thought the Queen will spend her birthday, taking place tomorrow, at the Duke of Edinburgh’s cottage, Wood Farm. The cottage is located on her Norfolk estate.

A royal source said the monarch is making the move so she can be “as close as possible to her late husband”.
She has previously said that Prince Philip “loved” the property because the “sea was so close”.
She has reportedly been suffering from some mobility issues in recent months.
In February, the Queen alluded to having mobility issues during an audience with incoming Defence Services Secretary Major General Eldon Millar at Windsor Castle.
