A festive light trail which had to be cancelled because of lockdown is returning to the Royal Estate next Christmas.

Luminate Sandringham got under way on December 17. The event was due to continue into January, but the trail was closed after Christmas Eve, as the nation was set to enter lockdown on Boxing Day.
