Presenter Michael Buerk is joined by chef Paul Ainsworth to look at food created for the meal which is said to be the Queen's favourite - afternoon tea.

Paul starts with a royal favourite, battenburg, but with a difference - he creates a chocolate and vanilla version. Paul also tries a recipe for Bath buns discovered tucked into the recipe book of a Buckingham Palace kitchen maid in the early 1900s.

Historian Dr Annie Gray tells the story of the charitable wife of Edward VII - Queen Alexandra who chose to treat all the poorest maids in London to a grand tea party at a Bishop's palace. And royal cake maker Mich Turner re-creates a masterpiece she made for the Queen, but this time in miniature.
