Aled is joined by four other familiar faces (Jennie Bond, John Craven, Carol Kirkwood and Ainsley Harriott) searching the country for everyday people who have met the Queen and have extraordinary stories to tell. The presenters also share their own memorable experiences of meeting Her Majesty.

By pulling together these treasured once-in-a-lifetime experiences with rarely seen personal photographs and footage, we see the Queen as you've never seen her before.

From the landlady of a Devonshire pub who gave the Queen a takeaway and the navy captain who found himself tongue-tied when welcoming the Queen on board his destroyer, to the moving story of how the Queen has supported the Welsh mining village Aberfan after its community was devastated, this programme celebrates the Queen's incredible influence on Britain and its people through the last seven decades.
