The Script By Royal Appointment BBC's New Headquarters To Open With A Royal Fanfare


After a week of celebrations to mark 60 years since her coronation, The Dublin Weekender hears of another treat in store for the Queen when she visits New Broadcasting House on Friday. Her tour will begin in Radio 1's Live Lounge where she will be serenaded, if that's the right word, by The Voice coach Danny O'Donoghue and his band the Script. They will be performing a new song for her majesty, but no word yet as to whether she will be required to listen to it sitting with her back to Danny in a swivel chair. Radio 4 listeners will be able to hear the Queen officially open NBH live later in the morning during a special programme about the building, presented by James Naughtie and Sian Williams. But if you want to catch a glimpse of the Queen, then tune into the BBC News Channel. Eagle-eyed viewers should be able to spot her over the presenters' shoulders as she tours the corporation's state-of-the-art plate-glass newsroom. A bunch of bananas to any brave member of the gallery who shouts to the presenters: "She's behind you."
