Prince Charles pays tribute to his mother the Queen in a special television documentary to mark the Diamond Jubilee.

Screened on BBC One at 8pm on Friday June 1, "A Jubilee Tribute to The Queen by the Prince of Wales" includes never-before-seen royal films and photographs as well as archive newsreels.

The Prince also shares home movies, including one of him as a young boy with his sister, the Princess Royal.

In it they are up to their necks in sand, smiling for the camera with a corgi sitting between them, on Holkham Beach in Norfolk in the summer of 1957.

Although much of the film is rooted in childhood memories, Charles pays tribute to his mother, from the moment she became Queen on safari in Kenya in 1952, through to last year's historic visit to Ireland.

He said: "The Diamond Jubilee gives us the chance to celebrate with pride all that the Queen means to us - whether as a nation or as one of her children."

On the Commonwealth, he comments: "I so admire the way she's managed to hold that unique association - the Commonwealth - together.

"The fact that my Mama has been a constant feature on the scene has provided that sense, I think, of continuity in a time of immense change over 60 years."
