Historic sounds from 60 years of broadcasting in Britain rang out in St. Paul's Cathedral Monday in a birthday tribute to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and a host of radio and television personalities listened to a montage of famous BBC recordings at a thanksgiving service presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury, which marked the 60th anniversary of the BBC and 50th anniversary of its External Services.
