Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip have celebrated many milestones together as a couple, but their 72nd Wedding Anniversary was celebrated with them being 110 miles apart.

This is because while the Queen is currently based in London due to her Working Week, her husband, 98, who has retired from royal duties, is at Sandringham in Norfolk.

Prince Philip has been resting at the estate's Wood Farm since retiring in 2017, which was renovated some years back to make it comfortable for him to live in.

It was a busy day for the Queen, as she held audiences with envoys from the Republic of Suriname and the Kyrgyz Republic.
