When Elizabeth became Queen the British Empire was turning into a Commonwealth. After the second World War and the new Labour Government, Britain was changing fast.
This touching programme covers the early years of Elizabeth before her father's death, visibly in love with Philip; it moves through the cavalcade of respectful statesmen from Mandela to Clinton; from colonies to independence and the emergence of a multi-cultural British society.
Her family has been surrounded by gossip, though her own long marriage to Philip has largely escaped this.
The Queen's stability and continuity has allowed Britain to shed an empire and create a new and prosperous identity quite against all the odds and expectations of most leading commentators. From Churchill to Blair, and presiding over a country immeasurably different since the start of her reign, Queen Elizabeth's achievement may now be seen.
