The Queen has spoken of her love of home movies as she personally approved the release of 400 reels of film from her private collection.

She said the cinefilm footage that she and her family shot many decades ago created a “sense of intimacy” because “you know who is on the other side of the lens."

The footage will be shown in a documentary, Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen, which will be broadcast this weekend ahead of the main Platinum Jubilee celebrations next week.
