Britain's Queen Elizabeth is to celebrate the 50th birthday of children's TV show 'Blue Peter'.
The royal will host a special tea party for the programme's staff and four viewers at her official London residence Buckingham Palace.
The queen will also present the lucky youngsters with the show's highest award - the Gold Blue Peter Badge.
'Blue Peter' editor Tim Levell is thrilled the queen has chosen to celebrate the show's landmark occasion.
'Blue Peter' has been at the heart of children's lives for 50 years, and we are absolutely delighted that the queen is recognising this by extending the kind invitation to us.
