The performance took place during World War Two, meaning the late Queen was still a teenager in the happy picture. So, whilst Christmas will feel very different this year, we can still remember the memories and traditions we shared.
The royal family came together to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II at a special Christmas service at Westminster Abbey.The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte are pictured at the 'Together at Christmas' carol service at Westminster Abbey. Olympic gold medallist Nicola Adams OBE read Luke 2:1-7 and Actress Dame Kristen Scott Thomas DBE read Malcolm Guite’s poem, Refugee.
Actress Dame Judi reflected that the Queen's annual Christmas message was a tradition in her family. Her children's choir's performance of O Come, All Ye Faithful was one of the most moving of the night.

She added that she remembers the Queen's first Christmas broadcast, with a clip shown of the young monarch addressing the nation shortly after she ascended to the throne.

Those who showcase the power of connectedness and community values, allowing us to continue Her Majesty's tradition of recognising and thanking those who have gone above and beyond to support others," the Princess of Wales said.Audiences praised the joy displayed by the well-behaved princess, seven, with one moment showing her reacting excitedly to a reading from Paddington Bear by actor Hugh Bonneville.
The service also recognised the selfless efforts of individuals, families and communities across the UK, and highlighted the remarkable impact that coming together to support others can have for us all.
