Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Her Majesty the Queen visited Television Centre on 2 November 1961 to mark the 25th birthday of the Corporation. Her Majesty met the cast of \u201cCrackerjack\u201d with Eamonn Andrews.  Normally, \u201cCrackerjack\u201d was transmitted from TV Theatre, but moved up to TVC for HM’s visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
