The Queen's Diamond Jubilee
The British are beginning a year-long celebration starting this weekend. It's Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, a celebration of her 60 years on the throne. In today's show, we'll celebrate with our friends across the pond. We'll hear from Tony Holt, who was a boy soprano at the coronation ceremony in 1953. And we'll hear some of the same music that was played at the coronation ceremony.
