Anne Diamond

Available for over a year

It happened to the BBC's Foreign Correspondent nearly forty years ago. "I can't remember the date, it must have been about 1978. I was at a commonwealth conference in Zambia, and the Queen came to celebrate the opening of it. "I was late...somehow I was clambering over the barb wire because we were late, a big bit got stuck in my trousers. "I was wearing some awful bright blue underpants."
