Elizabeth McGovern, Trump's visit to D-Day: Decoding state ceremony

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Elizabeth McGovern, Trump's visit to D-Day: Decoding state ceremony

From President Trump’s state visit to D-Day celebrations, we reflect on a week of ceremony

Elizabeth McGovern interviewed live. And from President Trump’s state visit to D-Day celebrations, we reflect on a week of ceremony.

Elizabeth McGovern, best known in the UK for being Lady Cora in Downton Abbey is in a play in London at the moment called Starry Messenger. Elizabeth plays the wife of a man going through a mid-life crisis. Plus the latest Sadie and the Hotheads news.  

From President Trump’s state visit to D-Day celebrations, we reflect on a week of ceremony with Jess Brammar Executive Editor, HuffPost UK, Sarah Elliot Chair of Republicans Overseas UK, and Bonnie Greer, columnist with the New European newspaper, playwright and critic.
 
We continue our look at women sports coaches as part of coaching week with tennis coach, Francesca Lewis. She fell in love with the game when she was just 8 years old, and she went on to compete in tournaments right across the world. But it was as a tennis coach, rather than a player, that Francesca really found her calling. She now trains some of the best junior players in the world at Swansea’s Regional Player Development Centre.
