Forty years ago, the British nation came to a standstill.
Thousands lined the streets of London and, in homes and offices throughout the country, the biggest television audience of its time - some 20 million - watched transfixed as Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in Westminster Abbey. Tonight, Sylvia Peters , who hosted the original BBCtv coverage of the Coronation, introduces a documentary that recalls the occasion, and some of the key people who took part remember the pageantry and splendour of the day. Among the questions to be answered are: who sat on the Coronation throne just hours before the Queen; who misplaced the crown; and did the Archbishop of Canterbury really have a swig of brandy during the service. Contributors include
James Wilkinson , a Westminster chorister in 1953 and now the BBC's science correspondent, and the BBC producer on the day, Peter Dimmock , who recounts some of his memories.

The civil war in former
Yugoslavia has created more than two million refugees, victims of the sort of inhumanity and prejudice
Europe thought it had banished to history forever. And now, while the politicians bicker and the peace plans are bounced back and forth, the human cost of the Bosnian crisis continues to mount.
This film reports from
Karlovac, a UN transit camp in Croatia, a warren of stinking rooms and corridors that offers sanctuary to 3,000 broken people. It records the shattered lives of those for whom it has now become "home".
"We were playing tennis when they came in their tanks and rounded us up. We were taken to a concentration camp. My name is Muslim, you see," says one man. He was lucky. Half starving, he was rescued and taken to Karlovac.
