Hello and welcome to a very special edition of the show. Tonight we will | :00:18. | :00:27. | |
be celebrating Her Majesty's the Queen 90th birthday. Shortly will be | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
heading to Windsor Castle. Rest assured, we will not miss a thing. | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
Shall we say hello to our studio guest? One who has performed for Her | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Majesty 's many times. The other has had a personal insight into the | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
working life of Her Majesty for many years. Please welcome Katherine | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
Jenkins and Jennie Bond. Of course, the celebrations have been going on | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
all day. They have been going full swing in Windsor. Let's have a look | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
at the Queen at lunchtime. In the spring greens. I love the outfit. I | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
love that colour. Would you have predicted that? I would have | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
predicted something more vibrant. She normally goes for big colours | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
but that is quite subdued. We are keeping with the relaxed vibe this | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
afternoon. We have put some arias up in the studio, as well. Lovely that | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
you are here. It has been quite a in the studio, as well. Lovely that | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
day for the Queen, the first British monarchy to reach the age of 90. I | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
saw you on the television this morning, Catherine,. How was it in | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
Windsor? It was lovely. So positive to wish Her Majesty well. It felt a | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
little bit like the royal wedding. All the people coming out and | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
supporting. It made you very proud of being British. I felt very | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
fortunate to be there. You have the classic fans who camp out the night | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
before. It is wonderful. A celebration of | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
before. It is wonderful. A very much working. 400 engagements | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
per year and still riding. That astonishes me. How many 90-year-olds | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
can even get on a horse? astonishes me. How many 90-year-olds | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
have Nadiya who made the cake. astonishes me. How many 90-year-olds | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Orange drizzle. We were worried because we didn't know that the | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Queen like marmalade. I think she does. Royal correspondent for 14 | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
years, have you ever known her eat and orange cake? She is partial to a | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
crunchy chocolate cake, something different. The moment has come to | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
joining with the celebrations so we will hand you over to the BBC News | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
team live in Windsor. Welcome to viewers of The One Show, we are | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
broadcasting live from Windsor. viewers of The One Show, we are | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
Queen and the jukebox Edinburgh about to arrive on this, the Queen's | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
90th birthday. CHEERING Huge cheers. The Prince of Wales and | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
the Duchess of Cornwall awaiting the Queen's arrival. The Queen will | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
shortly be lighting a beacon to mark this milestone. Nicholas Witchel is | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
alongside me. The Queen greets the mayor, the pageant master, in charge | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
of the beacons across the country. A sensible headscarf. Sensible | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
headgear, as ever, quite blustery evening here in Windsor. As they are | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
assembled, we will hear the national anthem, played by the band of the | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Coldstream Guards. I'm sure that the of Edinburgh has an opinion on the | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
beacons. As he frequently says, he is one of the most expert openers | :04:19. | :04:30. | |
and beacon lights that there are. The man who has put together the | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
programme is on hand, always here for these pyrotechnic displays. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
There is the torch. Not quite ready for that moment yet. The lighting | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
with the torch. I presume they are going to play the national anthem. | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
The band is all there. They will be terribly disappointed having got | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
ready to play the national anthem. They look like they don't know where | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
to stand. I'm sure it has been carefully worked out. The Queen | :05:02. | :05:02. | |
looks up at the sky. BAND PLAYS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. | :05:03. | :05:45. | |
CHEERING We expect a short address from the | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Prince of Wales. Your Majesty, mummy, I find it very hard | :05:50. | :06:07. | |
to appreciate that you have reached your 90th year. I have known you | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
since you were 22 years old. This is a very special occasion. The beacon | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
that Her Majesty is about to light will also represent, as it lights | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
other beacons across the nation, the love and affection in which you are | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
held throughout this country and the Commonwealth. So, ladies and | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
gentlemen, can we wish Her Majesty the most special and the happiest of | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
birthdays on this occasion and long may you reign over us. CHEERING | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
APPLAUSE Ladies and gentlemen, can I ask you, | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
as well, could you raise three special cheers for Her Majesty on | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
this special occasion? If they are loud enough, it might just work to | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
light the other beacons by spontaneous combustion. So, hip hip | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
hooray! Hip hip Raea! Hip hip hurray! | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
Now... We are told that as the beacon is lit the bells will ring | :07:45. | :07:57. | |
from St George's Chapel right behind where Nick and I are standing, so | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
this could get... Let's hold our breath. This hasn't always gone | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
right. This looks like a splendid views. The torch has been applied, | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
it has to go all the way down there. Here we are. BAND PLAYS I'm hoping | :08:18. | :08:35. | |
that is sufficient. We will find out momentarily. Yes, well. BAND PLAYS | :08:36. | :08:59. | |
"Happy Birthday". Happy birthday! What else? APPLAUSE | :09:00. | :09:15. | |
Taking light now. Yes, gathering momentum. The Queen is taken by the | :09:16. | :09:28. | |
man in charge of beacons up and down the UK. He is due to show her | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
several others close by. The thought being that this is the initial | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
beacon in a chain of as many as 1000 up and down the UK and in | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
Commonwealth countries. And the Prince of Wales in those few remarks | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
of his saying that this beacon represents, as he put it, the love | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
and affection in which the Queen is held in this country and the | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
Commonwealth. That, perhaps, is correct. Love and affection, not | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
concepts that the Queen would readily aspire to or necessarily | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
expect, love from the people of this country, it's many years ago that | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
the Duke of Edinburgh said, when we are all that and ancient, there will | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
be a degree of reverence once again. I think we have reached that. She is | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
90, he will be 95 in a few months' time. There is that reverence, deep | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
respect and affection now. We saw evidence of it in Windsor in the | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
walkabout this morning. She is much more at ease, comfortable now, | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
enjoying her 90th birthday with more things to enjoy this evening. This | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
dinner at which her family and her closest of friends, people who have | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
known her through the decades will be attending. I think they are now | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
looking, there is another beacon further down the long walk, they | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
will be looking out to that and, hopefully, that Hazlitt as well. It | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
has not exactly burst into flames, but perhaps it will. It is smoking a | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
lot but there is blame as well. It may yet and it is a blustery | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
evening. It may yet. But around the country, as we speak, people are | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
presumably striking matches and doing their own bit to complete the | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
chain of beacons, 1000 beacons, the juke of Edinburgh looks rather | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
bemused by it all. He seen it all before, of course. Now, into the | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
cars and back, I guess they, perhaps, for a little freshman. And | :11:50. | :11:59. | |
dinner. The Duke of Edinburgh, we're told, has been given a gift this | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
evening which is a told, has been given a gift this | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
an occasion such as this. The beacon guidebook? Well... The Queen, on her | :12:12. | :12:21. | |
90th birthday, retires to Windsor Castle, finally, for a private | :12:22. | :12:30. | |
dinner with family and friends. STUDIO: Thank you to the BBC news | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
team. Very engaging. She seemed to really enjoy that part of | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
proceedings. I think so. really enjoy that part of | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
part of all the celebrations and it is a way of spreading the | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
celebrations through the country and the Commonwealth because the Queen | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
can't be everywhere. It is a way, through smoke signal, of saying | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
happy birthday. They are going to check the beacon guidebook to work | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
out how to dampen... How much do you know about this intimate dinner this | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
evening? Intimate. It is close family and friends and some European | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
royalty, so it is still about 70 people. Not that intimate really. | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
But it is the largest grouping of the family for some time. We are | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
told that they will have fish, meat, and cake. Poached salmon, and a | :13:29. | :13:42. | |
beautiful ganache, we are told. You are going to be singing for as | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
later. We're very much looking forward to it. How does that menu | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
compared to when you had lunch with the Queen? A few years ago, I was | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
invited to a lunch, quite intimate, to have such an insight and to be | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
able to spend that time... How many people were there? It was Her | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
Majesty The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh and I was one of six | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
others. We were in the room waiting for them to arrive. All the dogs ran | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
in first and she followed them. It was really lovely and natural. Was | :14:21. | :14:31. | |
it like pretty woman? Did you not know which cutlery to use? There was | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
a moment when you didn't know if your table manners would be up to it | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
but it was lovely and a great moment to be invited to. Jenny, you have 14 | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
years as royal correspondent. You have been directing this audio book | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
with stories right through her life. From the beginning, she had | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
aspirations to be a farmer's Y. Apparently, she told her nanny, when | :14:56. | :15:29. | |
I grew up, I want to be a farmer's Y. | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
We're reduced to seeing her quite sedate. -- a farmer's wife. Phil is | :15:37. | :15:47. | |
-- occasionally, I have made her laugh. Occasionally she has | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
approached me and made me laugh. We were in South Africa some years ago, | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
1995, I think, and we were in a very crowded black township. We have the | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
footage. And this is a praise singer, and he was quite | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
frightening, and he had to escort off while he though dilated. -- | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
escort her while he only elated. She said, I do hope he's friendly. -- | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
while she third -- while he ululated. | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
We are used to seeing her with the crowds and doing work with her | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
engagements, but this is a very personal thing for herself. I think | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
she would probably rather have gone for a ride on her horse, had a | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
little tipple before lunch, gin and do Bonnie. She would feed because | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
these scones. But she knows she has to be on public display, and she | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
will have been humbled and gratified that people turned out. Like a | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
mother, the Queen Mother used to say, they won't come, they want torn | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
up, but they did, and they will again in June. I think that is a | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
nice touch that Prince Charles mention, that these beacons will | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
display the commitment she has given everybody and that everyone wants to | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
show their love and respect. As we have seen, the Queen has lit the | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
first of 1000 birthday beacons at Windsor. Angela is standing at the | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
foot of another one in Somerset, and it looks like a whopper. | :17:34. | :17:46. | |
It is. Off you go, Ann. The wonderful Ann Lebarr, 93 years of | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
age, is lighting that. It looks like it has taken off quicker than we | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
anticipated. Oh, my goodness! That is the easy bit. We have spent the | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
last couple of days here in Somerset - well done, Ann - don't go | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
anywhere. That has got very hot very quickly! We had lots of hard work to | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
do. That felt like quite an easy job, right? You were very confident | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
before it kicked off. There is some heat in that. We will have to move | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
away. It definitely took off more quickly than the Queen's one. Do you | :18:33. | :18:41. | |
have any advice for the Queen at 93 years of? I wouldn't dare give the | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Queen advice. She is doing wonderfully. What is the secret? | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
Just keep going. On that note, another birthday | :18:53. | :19:01. | |
beacons, hopefully fit for royalty. Well done, Ann It did catch quickly. | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
They have read the Beacon guidebook. They know how to get it going | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
quickly. A milestone birthday like 90 preparers -- requires a great | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
deal of preparation on the ground and in the sky. The people behind | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
Artists Of The Sky produced something spectacular for us. | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
Needless to say, they didn't let us down. | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
We like to think of ourselves as artists and the sky as our canvas. | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
We try to make every display better than the last one. I have to pinch | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
myself that we are actually up here playing with aeroplanes at night, | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
setting things on fire. I'm really hoping it is a nice display for the | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
-- that tonight's display for the Queen is the best we have done. The | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
planes we fly have a wingspan of 80 metres. They have a conventional | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
engine at the front. The beauty of the motor glider is that it is | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
graceful in the air. It is a perfect platform. I was inspired by the | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
Festival in Edinburgh, where they have a waterfall of fireworks down | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
the castle. Now we have the waterfall of fire. It is unreal that | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
we have actually managed to do it. The various authorities just ran out | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
of things to say no to. We have waterfall is here, which are the | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
real meat of the display. Fire! We have a Roman candle that goes | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
forwards and backwards. Some people asked how we set off fireworks on | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
the wings. We use these things, we booked a voltage from the cockpit | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
down the wing into this tiny squib here. It is much safer than getting | :20:51. | :20:59. | |
out there with a match! Tower just done here. Our display is just about | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
practice, practice and practice again. Rolling, rolling, rolling. | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
Right, Right, right. This makes our flying much more efficient. Left, | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
left, left. It looks strange to onlookers, but it is very important | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
and we have to do it. And break, break, break. When we were first | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
asked by the One Show to create this display for the Queen's birthday, I | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
was thrilled. My first real childhood memory of the Queen was | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
her silver jubilee a 97 -- in 1977, when I was eight years old. My mum | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
dressed as up in fancy dress as a stamp. Here is mere eight years old | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
with my sister, Pam. I am the grumpy one. -- here is me at eight years | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
old. We are on time. Let's go. Right, right, right. In position. | :21:55. | :22:56. | |
Smoke off. Smoke off. For 2016 and for the Queen, we are bringing in a | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
brand-new idea of combining ground-launched fireworks with our | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
fireworks for a big finale. We have to be in exactly the right place at | :23:08. | :23:19. | |
the right time for the big finish. You're calling it. I'm going now. | :23:20. | :23:37. | |
Yeah! Tell you what, gliding at night | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
Yeah! Tell you what, gliding at fireworks attached to your wing... | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
Next birthday, I'm expecting that. If you're watching at home and you | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
are celebrating your 90th If you're watching at home and you | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
secondly, did you know that you can register for one of these? It's a | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
Royal Mint limited edition ?5 calling that will be sent to 90 | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
people who share the same birthday as the Queen. One very lucky | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
birthday girl, Barbara Bennett, is here to receive her in person. Happy | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
birthday, Barbara. We have to hand it over. There we are. | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
APPLAUSE Have you had a lovely day, Barbara? | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
A very busy day. What happened? The children from the local school came | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
and sang happy birthday. They were lovely. Then I had drinks and | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
and sang happy birthday. They were champagne and cake for about 80 | :24:39. | :24:39. | |
people. Then I had a lunch champagne and cake for about 80 | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
family for ten. I'm pretty worn out. It has been a wonderful day. Lovely | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
to be here. And extra special It has been a wonderful day. Lovely | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
share it with the Queen. I don't have to like beacons, do I? We can | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
sort that out for you. have to like beacons, do I? We can | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
isn't it? Now we have seen the Queen receive lots of flowers today. I'm | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
guessing, have you? Yes, everywhere. I don't know whether it is a | :25:13. | :25:13. | |
funeral, a wedding or a birthday. I don't know whether it is a | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
Everyone has been very kind. And they've been asking lots of people, | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
what does people? What does she mean to you? | :25:23. | :25:32. | |
When I get worried, I think about the poor Queen. You do get worried, | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
don't you? She is an inspiration, isn't she, really? What would you | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
say your outlook is on life at 90 compare to 80? Well, in my head, I'm | :25:44. | :25:56. | |
still 60 watts, or 15, even! 90 is the new 60, Barbara, that's what | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
they say! You look wonderful. Thank you for inviting me. Jennie, people | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
have been talking about the Queen kind of reducing the number of | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
events she goes to and what have you, but I guess as she's getting | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
older, she will do. The vehicle today means that she can see lots | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
more people but not have to walk a huge amount to do it. Yes, she often | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
gets into the Bentley with the glass at the back, but she is slowly | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
reducing. She doesn't do the long haul trips she used to. She is ready | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
to take on new engagements. If, like Barbara, you are 90 today and would | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
like to register for one of those coins, the details are on our | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
website. Thank you, Barbara. The documentary tonight, Elizabeth at | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
90, will be on BBC One at 9pm and will feature unseen videos of the | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Royal family. Here is Prince William and Prince Harry. | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
We hope you have enjoyed our celebration of the Queen's 90th. Our | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
thanks to Katherine and Jennie and Barbara. Now, to play us out, from | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
