A new BBC One documentary, “Queen Elizabeth II: Her Story, Our Century”, will include contributions from Dame Helen Mirren, Barack Obama and Sir David Attenborough. The one-hour film has been created to celebrate the late monarch’s 100th birthday, exploring a century of profound change and transformation in Britain and around the world through her remarkable life.
Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96 and was the country’s longest-reigning monarch, serving as head of state for more than 70 years.
From the Blitz to the 2012 London Olympics, she has lived through and witnessed many changes around the world, and has become a symbol of stability for some.
The documentary will be told through a mix of archive footage and new interviews, including contributions from Dame Helen, Mr Obama and Sir David, and actresses Dame Sheila Hancock and Queen Camilla – who will offer many of their personal memories.
Catherine Catton, head of factual entertainment and events, said: “Queen Elizabeth II: Her Story, Our Century explores the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II through the lens of a century of change and offers an important reflection on how modern Britain has been shaped.”
Queen Elizabeth II: Her Story, Our Century will air on BBC One and iPlayer, with broadcast details to be announced.
