The Queen was left impressed by the efforts of a pensioner who has painstakingly created a “knitted Sandringham” version of her Norfolk home. When the Queen visited Sandringham recently she toured the display, now on show at her Norfolk home, and appeared to enjoy seeing it recreated in miniature. The centre-piece is an 18ft-long Sandringham House featuring intricate architecture, chimneys and windows surrounded by knitted trees. Other landmarks from the Queen’s estate are featured, including St Mary Magdalene Church, where the monarchy attend the Christmas Day service, and there are even knitted members of the royal family. Visitors to Sandringham will be able to make a make a donation to the projects and the knitted display forms part of a visit to Sandringham House until October 14.
