"We chose the broadcasts because it is very rare indeed to find high-quality recordings of a person's voice stretching back over such a long period," he said. "The changes in the Queen's speech have been very, very slow, but they are there nevertheless.

"In 1952 she would have been heard referring to 'thet men in the bleck het'. Now it would be 'that man in the black hat'.

"Similarly, she would have spoken of the citay and dutay, rather than citee and dutee, and hame rather than home In the 1950s she would have been lorst, but by the 1970s lost."

And indeed, the Queen's first Christmas broadcast was pure Dartington Crystal.

She began: "As he (King George VI) used to do, I em speaking to you from my own hame, where I em spending Christmas with my femly."
