This isn’t Horrible Histories, it’s huggable histories – reassuring tales of past times, with a heritage flavour. The one-off special comes from Westminster Abbey, where Dan Snow and Sian Williams collate regal tales; Twiggy talks to designers and milliners about the Queen’s wardrobe; we’re promised behind-the-scenes secrets of last year’s royal wedding in a chat with the Dean of Westminster; and Lucy Worsley (yes, she’s everywhere) draws parallels between the London of 1897, when Queen Victoria marked her diamond jubilee, and this year’s celebrations. As part of this year's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Sian Williams and Dan Snow present from Westminster Abbey a special edition of the show celebrating Britain's past. Featuring Twiggy in conversation with the designers of the monarch's clothes, Larry Lamb examining the increasing value of 1950s memorabilia, and historian Lucy Worsley's comparison of London in 1897 - when Queen Victoria celebrated 60 years on the throne - and now. Plus, Dan Snow chats to hairdresser Michael Douglas, and secrets from last year's royal wedding are revealed.
