The Queen joins YouTube
HRH Queen Elizabeth II may be 81, but she likes to keep up with the times.
It's 50 years since she made her first Christmas Day speech on that new fangled TV thingy - and now she'll be appearing on YouTube.
The newly launched Royal Channel - The Official Channel Of The British Monarchy - already houses fascinating archive footage of the Queen Mother's wedding in 1923 and the Queen's first Christmas broadcast in 1957.
The Christmas Broadcast or Queen's Speech for 2007 will appear on YouTube at approximately 3pm GMT on Christmas Day.
'I very much hope that this new medium will make my Christmas message more personal and direct,' Her Majesty told BBC News from her Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
