Her Majesty is the first Monarch in history to reach the historic milestone of 70 years on the throne.
The Queen was joined by members of the Sandringham Women’s Institute, pensioners who live on the Sandringham Estate, West Norfolk Befriending and Little Discoverers, an early-years charity for children with disabilities.
Amongst the guests was Angela Wood, who helped create the original recipe for coronation chicken as a cookery student in 1953.
Her Majesty is seen with one of her famous red boxes. Over the past 70 years, The Queen has received daily papers from her Private Secretaries, in person or via a red despatch box. The boxes hold documents updating Her Majesty on events in Parliament as well as overseas and Commonwealth matters, and State papers requiring her signature and Royal assent.
The Queen is wearing two diamond ivy leaf clips, which were a gift from The Queen Mother for the then Princess Elizabeth’s 21st birthday.

Camilla's journey from royal mistress to Queen Consort
Prince Charles WILL live at Buckingham Palace: Royal will move into main residence when he becomes King... and William and Kate may move to Windsor as courtiers plot housing merry-go-round
Prince Charles will move into Buckingham Palace when he becomes king – with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge potentially taking over Windsor Castle.
In recent years there has been speculation that the official London residence of the monarch will become a 'working hub' for the monarchy, with no members of the Royal Family in residence, and opened up more to the public as a visitor attraction.
But the Daily Mail understands that the Prince of Wales is 'firmly of the view that it's the visible symbol of the monarchy in the nation's capital and therefore must be his home'.
'There is no question about it,' a source revealed yesterday. 'HRH's view is that you need a monarch at monarchy HQ. This has never been in doubt.'

It has been repeatedly reported that Charles has decided not to relocate to the Palace when it is ready to be lived in again and he accedes to the throne. But sources have told the Mail this is 'categorically untrue'.
'The Prince of Wales will not move into Buckingham Palace before he is king. But when he is, he absolutely will,' a source said.
'Just like the Queen, it will effectively be in the "flat above the shop". He feels it is right, just as the Queen does, to work out of Buckingham Palace.
'The Palace will still be a working and entertaining hub and will also still be open to visitors. It is a hugely important tourist attraction. But the prince can still live there at the same time, much like he does at Highgrove, which is also open to the public.'

Clarence House, the London home of Prince Charles and wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
Charles, 73, and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, currently live in Clarence House. It is likely to be turned into a work or entertaining hub – with a view to one of the Cambridges' children living there in the future.
William and Kate will keep their domestic and work base at Kensington Palace. They have lived there in Apartment 1A since 2017.
The couple also have Anmer Hall on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, given to them by the Queen. Sources said they believed the couple will ultimately inherit Windsor Castle.
Clarence House declined to comment.
