The Queen chose the theme of “home” for a highly personal Christmas broadcast in which she paid tribute to victims and young survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing and those of the Grenfell Tower fire. She praised the survivors as an “example to us all, showing extraordinary bravery and resilience”. In London, there were attacks at Westminster Bridge, in which five died, and Borough Market, where eight died. While the Queen arrived by car at the church, a sprightly Philip decided to walk with other family members. The royal family traditionally gather in front of the television after Christmas lunch to watch the broadcast.
