The Queen has used her annual Christmas Day broadcast to speak of courage and hope in adversity.

The message was recorded before her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, was treated in hospital for a blocked coronary artery.

Prince Philip is still in hospital, and has missed a church service attended by the rest of the Royal Family.

The Queen also spoke of "the importance of family", and called the Commonwealth a family "in the truest sense".

In her message, recorded on 9 December, the Queen said the Royal Family had been inspired by the courage shown in Britain, the Commonwealth and around the world.

The Christmas address is written by the Queen herself - one of the rare occasions where she does not turn to the government for advice.

The broadcast, in which the Queen wore glasses and a strawberry red dress by Angela Kelly, was filmed in Buckingham Palace's 1844 room.

Pupils from St Joseph's Catholic Infants' School in Camberwell, south London, are seen performing a scene from a nativity play.

It concludes on the palace forecourt with the Band of the Irish Guards playing the carol O Little Town of Bethlehem.
