The Queen's Christmas Message 1957

In terms of Christmas, the Queen's annual message is right up there with mince pies, Santa and family arguments. But before 1957, it was nothing more than a voice on the radio – this clip shows its first TV broadcast.

In the first part of the speech we could be hearing about the technological changes of today and their effect on society. Her Majesty hit the nail on the head, or in 21st Century speak, nailed it, in 1957! The more things change the more they stay the same.
