<p>The Queen will mark the 59th anniversary of her accession to the throne by attending a traditional Sunday church service.</p>
<p>She will be among the congregation this morning at West Newton Church on the Sandringham royal estate in Norfolk.</p>
<p>But celebrations are unlikely as Accession Day is a royal anniversary tinged with sadness.</p>
<p>Although it marks the Queen&#8217;s accession, the day also commemorates the death of her father, George VI.</p>
<p>The Queen prefers to stay at Sandringham, where the king died peacefully in his sleep early in the morning of February 6 1952.</p>
<p>Royal gun salutes are usually fired around the country on Accession Day but, because this year it falls on a Sunday, the salutes are being withheld until tomorrow at noon.</p>
<p>Next year the Queen will celebrate her Diamond Jubilee &#8211; 60 years as Queen.</p>
<p>The sovereign, who is 85 in April, will return to Buckingham Palace tomorrow after being in residence at Sandringham since before Christmas.</p>
