Those who were presented to the Queen often found the experience discombobulating. Though it may have been the first time they had ever set eyes on her, they were often more familiar with her face than with their own. They knew it in profile; they knew it head-on; they had seen it refracted through the visions of countless artists and photographers.

GRIFF RHYS JONES: Last week, I was actually surprised when an old friend called me out of the blue to say that it had been ten years since Mel Smith died.

I couldn't believe it was ten years since July 2013, on a day just like this, with wood pigeons practising their school recorder scales outside, Jo Johnson dropped her voice in the room next door and started saying things like, 'Om, I'm so sorry to hear that...' and 'if there is anything we can do...' I was still sneaking out to join the wood pigeons.' It was the surprising revelation that we had all been half-expecting. Mel was dead.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Chris Patten (pictured), representing Oxford University of which he is Chancellor, arrived this week as the kings from our most venerable institutions lined up to say 'loyal greetings' to the new King at Buckingham Palace. Now, I can tell you that Lord Patten's Sovereign's professions of loyalty seem to be rather hollow.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: In the classic song A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square, the grandeur and romance of Mayfair were immortalized.

However, there was the odd green shoot on the first edition of the Good Food Guide, a slim volume dating 1951-52. Matthew Engel's uplifting new book on post-war Britain shows that the past is actually a different world.
