#Christmas2018 🎄 🎄 Every year on #Christmas millions watch the recorded broadcast of the annual #ChristmasDay 👑 #QueensMessage from Britain’s Monarch Queen Elizabeth II. This year the #QueensSpeech was recorded in the White Drawing Room at #BuckinghamPalace in #London, England with a special mention of faith, family and friendship as being a constant source of personal comfort and reassurance for #TheQueen. The head of the #BritishRoyalFamily delivered her 66th address at Christmas and used this annual tradition to prompt reflection upon the year as well as to inspire hope across the commonwealth into the New Year. She paid special tribute to The Royal Air Force’s Centenary, mentioned her personal joy over the weddings of two of her grandchildren, the birth of two great-grandchildren and the one on the way as well as the recent 70th Birthday of the Prince of Wales. This Royal address at the holiday dates back to 1932 when the Queen’s grandfather, King George V delivered the address live on the radio via the BBC. The first televised Christmas broadcast was in black and white and was by #QueenElizabethII in 1957 with the first colour broadcast arriving ten years later in 1967. | December 25, 2018 | 📸: John Stillwell - WPA Pool | #GettyEntertainment
