A tradition since 1932, Christmas Day will mark the Queen sitting down and once again giving a special Christmas speech to the world. Want to watch the Queen's Speech online? Read on to find out everything you'll need to know.
For many, sitting down with the family to tune in for this speech has become a Christmas tradition of sorts, on the same level as eating turkey, opening presents and drunken renditions of the Pogues. And with millions of people looking to catch the 10 minute special this year, its influence on the UK is undoubted!
But what will the Queen cover? Each year, the theme tends to change, mainly dealing with the biggest occurrences of the year. We wouldn't be surprised if she addressed Brexit, the General Election, the royal baby and of course, wished the public a merry Christmas.
Last year, anyone who went to watch the Queen's Christmas Speech online was met with the history of the speech, praise for the military, a recap of what has happened to the royal family over the year and the Queen voicing her opinions on how we should treat each other kindly. In other words, it's a wholesome bit of TV, perfect for Christmas!
