Queen's Speech From Sky May Be In 3D

Sky is putting finishing touches to its arrangements for the production of this year's Christmas Day Queen's Speech.
Sky News will produce this year's address and are also signed up for the 2012 speech.
It may even be in 3D too, for the first time in its history.
A Sky source said they would explore the opportunity to broadcast the speech in 3D but nothing had been agreed with the Palace.
A statement from the Press Secretary to the Queen said: "Starting this year, the Queen's Christmas broadcast will be produced and distributed by Sky News, the BBC and the ITV network on a two-year alternating cycle for both television and radio use.
"Sky News will produce and distribute the Christmas broadcast this year and again in 2012, establishing the new cycle."
It is rumoured that the slot will include so far unseen footage of Prince William and Kate Middleton's April wedding with renewed interest in this year's Queen speech as a result.
The Royal Wedding has caused a sudden surge of interest in the family, meaning more people are set to tune into the Sovereign's message.
