The Queen's Christmas Broadcasts to the Commonwealth
The Queen

"I speak now from my home and from my heart to you all".

These words, spoken on 25 December 1932 by King George V from a small office at Sandringham, marked the beginning of a tradition which, to many, has become an integral part of the yuletide festivities - the Christmas Broadcast.

Since that time, a Christmas Day message has been delivered by the monarch to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth almost every year.
