Publisher's Synopsis
Live television or radio coverage of any royal occasion involves a vast amount of organization, and the BBC commentators who have contributed to this book are often closely involved. They recall the preparations for unique events such as Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation, the celebrations for her Silver Jubilee, the Investiture of the Prince of Wales, and the weddings of the 1980's, as well as some of the more "routine" aspects of the royal social calendar.
Caroline Elliot joined the BBC in 1974 and has herself worked on a wide range of royal events. These accounts provide a fascinating look at the business of transmitting the sights and sounds of British pageantry around the world.
