Signor Saragat arrives for an eight-day visit to Great Britain
History will be made when Her Majesty The Queen and H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh welcome The President at the Home Park, Windsor, and drive in state with him and his daughter through the town to Windsor Castle. On entering the State Apartments, the distinguished visitors will be greeted by other members of the Royal Family, after which they will return to the Quadrangle to review the band of the Household Cavalry, the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, and the Sovereign's Escort, Household Cavalry.
BBC-tv outside broadcast cameras will cover the scene at Home Park and the latter part of the route, as well as the ceremonies within the State Apartments and inside the Quadrangle of the Castle.
While the procession is making its way through the town, viewers will see a reminder of the days when State Visits to Windsor were the rule rather than the exception. Water-colours, specially commissioned for Queen Victoria's personal souvenir albums, will be shown on television for the first time, along with contemporary drawings from the Illustrated London News. Disarmingly frank observations on manners and monarchs, selected from Queen Victoria's letters and private journals, will be read by the distinguished actress Anna Massey.

A topical magazine programme about people, places, events, ideas, and inventions with John Earle
Today Tom Tom opens on the Sailing Vessel Nonsuch. John is aboard this replica of a seventeenth-century ketch. Three hundred years ago the original Nonsuch sailed the Atlantic, trading in furs for the Hudson's Bay Company. Next year it is hoped that the new ship will also sail to Canada. John sees her being prepared for her sea trials, and gets the feel of a real 'square-rigger' under sail.

The first duty of a state is to see that every child born therein shall be well housed, clothed, fed, and educated. (John Ruskin)
How good a parent are you? Do you know the laws - old and new - governing you and your child? How far are you answerable, and how far is the State, for his health, safety, education, behaviour, hours of work?
Cliff Michelmore and Magnus Magnusson give you the chance to check your knowledge of the rights and duties of parents; and of facts about children, from toddlers to teenagers.
Keep your score and compare it with the three studio teams:
Four Parents, Four Children
and Four Experts - a paediatrician, a headmistress, a child psychotherapist, and a children's officer.
