choir of st george's chapel very significant that it was in st george's chapel. and that is because that is the final resting place of queen elizabeth ii and her late husband prince philip. so that is why perhaps the king is going to be paying tribute to his late mother . that tribute to his late mother. that speech, the christmas tree behind him in that photograph that's has been released by buckingham palace, has decorations which are very much sustainable . it's lots of glass, sustainable. it's lots of glass, lots , paper, of course, both lots, paper, of course, both recyclable materials. there's also pint raised canes and natural products. the tree itself is also raised , cycled as itself is also raised, cycled as a decorations for visitors to enjoy when . they visit windsor enjoy when. they visit windsor castle . the king is very much castle. the king is very much conscious of costs of living crisis as well. he's made a private, personal to a fuel poverty to help those struggling with the cost of living crisis and being able to pay bills or not being able to pay bills . so not being able to pay bills. so perhaps he also reflects cost of living crisis in the speech,

to us for help. the increasing price of energy, rent and food has forced more people into and the charities say if things don't change they estimate 300,000 households will be pushed into homelessness next year. millions of people pushed into homelessness next year . millions of people across year. millions of people across the country have faced unsustainable alongside the increased cost of living now crisis are offering up to 6000 people an opportunity to find somewhere to stay. this bottom challenge for them is to make sure those people don't find themselves on the streets after themselves on the streets after the new working on the front line , jason has worked with the line, jason has worked with the charity every christmas for 19 years. this she has no different as he'll be working alongside other medical professionals to meet people's needs. a lot of gas. this the only time in the year where the health access health care that's because they don't feel they can do because they're homeless living on the streets or they don't know , you streets or they don't know, you know, they don't know how to because things change when you

healthy, close people that you really love. your mother, your father your brother , your father your brother, your friends. you're not text anybody with the question , are you? are with the question, are you? are you alive ? no. you're eastern you alive? no. you're eastern orthodoxy. you you'll be celebrate christmas on the 7th of january. traditionally, what does christmas look like to you? this have to be like 12 dishes, like 12 disciples. it's a meet with fish. it's a lot of like conservative. this food , this conservative. this food, this vegetables . ksenia conservative. this food, this vegetables. ksenia and her mother, victoria , me, some mother, victoria, me, some traditional ukrainian food to get into the festive spirit. it's dish named sara i think similar to pancakes it's a cheese is release russian . food cheese is release russian. food is one of the many ways which ukrainian are expressing their culture abroad . refugees in culture abroad. refugees in budapest been performing traditional dances outside the parliament. but for those in

ukraine, christmas trees are defiantly being put up in kyiv andre de tia is a local resident full into a christmas tree . full into a christmas tree. actually, it's just small piece of joy for our people , even in of joy for our people, even in such sad, dark times. it's powered by a generator which shows all that the war continues , that there are power cuts , but , that there are power cuts, but the russians will be able to take away our holiday . despite take away our holiday. despite losing family the conflict. ksenia is defiant that the ukrainian spirit will prevail. yeah it's war. it's terrible. it's really terrible . from. but it's really terrible. from. but from other hand . was still alive from other hand. was still alive with still have the small fire in the heart because it's the most important thing to save this even if it's terrible and i think it's one of the most important things to our people . important things to our people. watch out right . okay. so now

watch out right. okay. so now what is christmas without the annual royals speech broadcast on 3 pm. show? everything go year and well this year it's going to look a bit different. it's king charles, of course, picking up the from his late mother for the first time. but before we to 3 pm. it's worth looking back at the rich history of the royal christmas speech which turns 90 year after which turns 90 this year after all, with king charles's great george the fifth. back in 1932. well, who better talk us through the legacy of the kings and queens speeches than historian and broadcast fun favourites? the dr. david star . david, how the dr. david star. david, how are you? happy christmas . merry are you? happy christmas. merry christmas. i think we're supposed to say , but very merry supposed to say, but very merry . oh fair enough. okay right. so the history . the history of the the history. the history of the speech. why did it come about? what was what was ? the thinking what was what was? the thinking behind initially doing it. was let's call it by its proper

name. its propaganda . that's name. its propaganda. that's what it's intended to . be and it what it's intended to. be and it goes back. you'll find this very, very difficult to believe. patrick it goes back to the days when the bbc c was patriotic and the director general of the extraordinary scott called john reith, thought it be a wonderful idea to use new medium not simply to address people in britain but throughout the great empire and george surfaced, remember, it means you don't have prerecord . he's got to have prerecord. he's got to interrupt his christmas day. he's going to spoil this christmas lunch. he's singing with nerves. so what they do is they give him a script and it's written by i suppose, the greatest contemporary a man called kipling, the poet rudyard kipling. and it's very short go. it's only a few lines long, but suddenly for first time everybody, he what the king said . and this is the age of the

talkies . this is the age when talkies. this is the age when suddenly cinema ceased to be a series of flickering images. and you could actually hear what was going on. now you can hear the king this great gruff voice here. that's that's that sort of it smells of cigars and brandy and other such rich things and pheasant shoots or whatever. it's you can still hear it. it's one of them. oh fantastic. david how are you expecting the queen? so the king to address us , the so the king to address us, the south. and he's got to be nervous, isn't it? because he's his first one. are you expecting any surprises from way? any surprises from in any way? it's going be very different. it's going to be very different. you referred back to the first ones. this is also the anniversary of the queen's first christmas speech in december 1952. it's the of that. and in speech the queen. absolutely went out of her way to say , i'm went out of her way to say, i'm going to keep everything exactly as my father is. as you said, her grandfather george of the

fifth. did she even sat in the same in front of the same in the same in front of the same in the same room , sandringham at same room, sandringham at exactly the same time. now, king charles has already made very clear there's going to be a national judgement of his mother as i was in his first accession speech in 2 hours after her death . but things are going to death. but things are going to be different . look at look at be different. look at look at the previews we've seen of it. it's in windsor. it's actually almost in george's chapel. it's on the site where i remember that extraordinary of the of the funeral where the queen's coffin descend into the vault. the king is more less standing there and there's even an ecological christmas tree. so i think we're going to see nods backwards and glances forward. it's going to be very much a new king. a king and a new reign and new thoughts. but i think it matters a lot, because as we all know ,

a lot, because as we all know, after a very, very good start to reign, the last few months have not been easy. they haven't. there's been the whole horror across the atlantic , meghan and across the atlantic, meghan and harry. there's the deep discomfort between awful lot of this on the station. felt about the business of susan hussey . the business of susan hussey. that strange new african woman, nkosi fulani . and whatever the nkosi fulani. and whatever the signal that the palace wants to woke a woke monarch a real diversion inclusion equity. there are there are big questions lying there. i don't suppose will address all of them. i don't suppose he will address them very directly . but address them very directly. but there will be hints. saying i think that you didn't and that you didn't have a tradition of watching. this one, i think, will be worth. you could almost see it as a sports report and score it out of it because . score it out of it because. david, thank you very much and merry christmas. yeah. merry david, nice to see you two. wonderful life, david starkey .

wonderful life, david starkey. that historian and royal. it's interesting. he thinks i see everything through the prism of sport. yes which is that it's not unfair. no no, i mean you. that's your bread and butter. yeah, exactly. yeah. but you're so much more than that. oh, without question. yeah, yeah . without question. yeah, yeah. let's find out exactly what that is . i go anyway. i let's find out exactly what that is. i go anyway. i don't is. i don't go anyway. i don't go anywhere because got go anywhere because we've got loads up after this loads more coming up after this very, very short break.

remember buzz lightyear the big toy year? was a big toy every year? it was a big toy. so, you know, the toy. and so, you know, the problem can't you can't problem is you can't you can't get them anywhere. you know, they they go like i they go out so they go like i was talking about mid—november, i round to i remember going round to a store bluewater, a couple of store in, bluewater, a couple of years ago for my nieces and nephews, i had given a whole list stuff buy to fairy list of stuff to buy to fairy was of christmas eve, but was full of christmas eve, but nothing shops at all. now nothing in the shops at all. now my nearly got my dad wants nearly got hypothermia assembling or hypothermia from assembling or trying assemble a jungle in the back garden just because he'll have no excuse. no, that doesn't mean he's not thai. but yeah, from trying to assemble a jungle gym on christmas eve in the freezing . bless him. then i freezing. bless him. then i guess that's each hole is back. by the way, don't back. joe demands we sign through door just delivering his last few presents . just delivering his last few presents. i'll just delivering his last few presents . i'll have to take look presents. i'll have to take look sorry. yes. okay what's. what's been some of the best sellers than the london toy company? well, i have to say, firstly, this has been our busiest year on record. so far. we've had

brand new products in with licence with harry potter. we've had all toys was some recently launched this london underground kind of building blocks , which kind of building blocks, which has done incredibly well for us so across board a lot of transport toys toys toys kind of around the kind of licence kind of theme with like harry potter and an underground jcb. so those are done ready . well, for us are done ready. well, for us this year . are done ready. well, for us this year. what's are done ready. well, for us this year . what's the are done ready. well, for us this year. what's the key? are done ready. well, for us this year . what's the key? move this year. what's the key? move back. i'm going back. well, we were told by just a few moments ago lightyear, that was the big one, about 96, 97, wasn't it? you think we'll ever see one overarching toy selling above anything else like we did then ? anything else like we did then? i think, you know, interestingly, these days , a lot interestingly, these days, a lot of toys follow trends . the of toys follow trends. the market we had the kind of craze a few years ago of like kind of the loom bands. i don't know if you guys remember that a little bracelets you can make how little rubber bands and seems little rubber bands and it seems to be that there's a lot variety of range across the board but

but these days very much a case of of trends getting on top of kind of trends getting on top of kind of trends getting on top of those trends. it's hard to of those trends. so it's hard to say kind of staple say if be that kind of staple toy back again. but but toy coming back again. but but you look from of lots you know, you look from of lots of different kind trends that of different kind of trends that come across the across the come up across the across the years . yeah they're all just years. yeah they're all just crazes that take hold crazes that really take hold there . look thank very, very there. look thank you very, very much. you happy much. i hope you have a happy christmas, hanukkah, whatever it is it's great to is that doing. and it's great to see very, very good. see you. thank very, very good. have good day, joe. have good have a good day, joe. have good day. okay so day. yes. right. okay so speeches , churches may be speeches, churches may be checking out. a problematic member of the family the royals have a long list christmas traditions to tell us all about the christmas traditions of the rules is ingrid seward who is that merry christmas and grandma . merry christmas to you too . . merry christmas to you too. okay. so what will the royals be doing now ? well they will be doing now? well they will be walking to st mary magdalene church , the sandringham estate , church, the sandringham estate, which is the tradition and has

been for the 70 years of the queen's reign, almost every . the queen's reign, almost every. the as many members as we're staying would walk to church. and that's what doing now. and i know that the king has a lady, sarah chatto and her children's and her husband, daniel chatto, and the earl of snowdon. the second ella snowdon, who is date was david armstrong—jones. so. and then zara tindall might two tindall, their children . so it's tindall, their children. so it's a big turnout this year in that. but we will see if not necessarily straight away. but you think a period of time, maybe a few years, you see some of these, some of the traditions change somewhat. or do you think they'll they are ? they'll be kept as they are? like that was like double dutch to me. i kept dropping out. so i'm guessing that's just me. so it's no, i just said, do you think we'll see change in any of these traditions in the next few

years, or do you think they'll be roughly the same as they are? well, the king is a very traditional man and he loves ceremony and tradition. and i think it's of hard to change the christmas traditions. the whole thing about christmas is we love to do similar things every year. and i think it would be very similar though . now, obviously, similar though. now, obviously, there's the king's speech . there's the king's speech. everyone not everyone but people that are interested are looking forward to this afternoon when the when the royal family back from church, they sit down for christmas lunch, which is turkey, all the trimmings and the stuff being crackers and everything . just, you know, the stuff being crackers and everything .just, you know, a everything. just, you know, a lot of people like to do so it's very similar. i think it will be bit grander this year because charles is a perfectionist and he everything to be absolutely perfect with . a twist . so perfect with. a twist. so i think you know, the queen used to have it. it was all and she'd

have a bun, you know, a whole lot of poinsettias in the dining room. but i, charles, might find a bit more perhaps exotic. but you he as he as we all know, he was very, very close to his mother his latter years. and i think it follow the example that she always said . yeah absolutely she always said. yeah absolutely . i mean is this charles a little bit a bit flashier than the queen. yes i think. well suppose a bit grander, though , suppose a bit grander, though, the queen. i mean, the queen is still, charles, because she used to sandringham. and she so just put a potted plant on the table, as it were. and charles arrive at sandringham with, you know , at sandringham with, you know, an entire van full of beautiful ferns to recreate its edwardian splendour . ferns to recreate its edwardian splendour. so they have a different way of looking at things . and charles is . things. and charles is. a grander than his mother, if you like , use that word. it is a

like, use that word. it is a good word to use this case . good word to use this case. ingnd good word to use this case. ingrid seward, thank you very much indeed forjoining us. merry from everyone here at gb news to you and your family, of course, we hope you have a fantastic day. yes. have a wonderful . any traditions in wonderful. any traditions in your family the for your family the way for christmas? before we move on, sir? tradition this sir? well, the tradition this yeah sir? well, the tradition this year. i'm not there year. so far is i'm not there the same , but not better . the same, but i'm not better. it's all about it is a wonderful place to be here. of course. i think it's all my wonderful viewers and listeners as well, aren't you? yeah, it's actually it's part of the faces. you're going next. yes. going to move on to next. yes. always . it's we always good. so it's how we planned it. a special moment for fans. planned it. a special moment for fans . friday planned it. a special moment for fans. friday night planned it. a special moment for fans . friday night face starts . fans. friday night face starts. right? | fans. friday night face starts. right? i forgot i was in control of the auto game. a christmas edition of your pass around passes. if he tries to do what we pick apart local news . local we pick apart local news. local news is always great. i was worried. i came onto the show the first time and he mentioned going around my parts, i must admit. quite well. admit. yeah, he's quite as well. something interesting you something interesting that you still came on show. yeah. true. yeah. oh the first one shows,
