Queen wins a coveted Pointless trophy as quiz team captain
The Queen joined members of her local Women's Institute in a live game of Pointless hosted by Alexander Armstrong and was on the winning team.
Each year the Queen visits WI members at West Newton village hall as part of her winter stay on her Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
Armstrong, host of the BBC game show Pointless, was this year's guest speaker and he entertained the 31 members of Sandringham WI with the live game.
He said that the Queen is a fan of Pointless, describing her as "our most distinguished viewer".
Speaking after the meeting, Armstrong said the hall was divided into two teams for the game of Pointless, one headed by the Queen and the other by Yvonne Browne, vice-president of the Sandringham WI.
The Queen's team was victorious in a best-of-five match which finished three-one, he said.
"I think Her Majesty and the team can be very pleased with themselves tonight and go back covered in glory," said Armstrong.
"I think they can look back over the match and feel rightly proud of what they achieved."
He said the Queen gave some answers herself and had "some deft, silky Pointless skills".
He presented Sandringham WI with a Pointless trophy, gave a talk about his journey onto television and sang for the group with piano accompaniment.
"It's literally like a dream come true because I think everyone dreams they've had tea with the Queen, and it was the most lovely experience," he said.
The Queen, wearing a blue coat and carrying a black bag, arrived at Thursday's meeting in a Range Rover.
Returning to the waiting vehicle afterwards, she told Ms Browne: "Thank you for a lovely time."
Ms Browne said after the meeting: "We've had a really lovely afternoon.
"It's our centenary year and the Queen very graciously said a few words about the fact it was our centenary and she hoped that the fun and friendship would continue into the next century."
She said the Queen also posed for a group photograph, unveiled the branch's centenary plaque and was given a celebratory cake.
The Queen joined the Sandringham branch of the WI in 1943 when she was still Princess Elizabeth, and attends each year.
