The Queen and I (2022x94)

:

Over her long reign Queen Elizabeth II met more people than any monarch in history. She shook over a million hands and travelled the length and breadth of her kingdom, meeting people from all walks of life. In this intimate tribute we hear the much cherished memories of just a few of the people who met the Queen. As far back as 1938 twins Alice and Jean Bushnell recall Princess Elizabeth and her sister Margaret visiting their village school up in Craithie, Royal Deeside. Brian Llewlyn still treasures the cup and saucer the Queen drank from when she visited the family council house on a Royal tour of Newton Aycliffe New Town in 1960.
