Dear Diary

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Simon Brett returns with diaries for April 23: Rider Haggard tunes in to the first live broadcast from
Wembley on his neighbour's "wireless broadcasting set" in 1924. Barbara Pym has lunch with a shy
Philip Larkin in 1977. And in 1661, two eyewitness accounts of the coronation of Charles II from members of the audience - from John Evelyn in prime position, and Samuel Pepys in the cheap seats.
