The Queen's Christmas Broadcast 1957

In 1957 The Queen allowed her annual Christmas message to be televised (rather than being broadcast on radio only) for the first time. In her message, filmed live at Sandringham, The Queen spoke of the impact of new technology on people's lives, ending with a quotation from The Pilgrim's Progress. This short clip was shown on 4 April 2013 to The Queen's guests at a reception for the British Film industry.
