The Queen will make her televised Christmas message available as a podcast for the first time, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday.

The palace said that the message will be available as a download from her Web site www.royal.gov.uk from 3pm on Christmas Day.

Listeners can subscribe in advance on the site to receive the broadcast automatically.

This year's broadcast, recorded at Southwark Cathedral, will reportedly focus on the relationship between different generations - what the young and old have to offer each other and how faiths can nurture respect for the elderly.
