The 91 year-old-lady monarch was delivering a televised address to the country, which is also a fundamental royal custom of a traditional Christmas in Britain.

The sovereign queen further addressed it had been a privilege to visit sufferers of the bomb attack at a pop concert in Manchester, as she was able to witness the "bravery and resilience of survivors' first-hand."
