📻 The advent of public wireless broadcasting in the 1920s enabled millions of people across the globe to hear their King’s voice for the first time in their own homes. On #WorldRadioDay, we look back on some of those early broadcasts.
🎤 King George V’s speech at the opening of the British Empire Exhibition in 1924 was the first live radio broadcast made by a British Monarch. It is also the earliest surviving recording of any radio broadcast. 🎧 Listen on the @britishlibrary website: bit.ly/3su47Yt
