The BBC said the "historic" programme would see family members and royal staff offer "personal thoughts and reflections".

It said it would include "poignant recollections, plenty of humour and numerous fresh insights into the character and legacy of this royal pioneer".

"With special access to the Queen's private cine-film collection, this film is an unrivalled portrait of a man with a unique place in royal history," the BBC said.

The Queen is not among the contributors listed in the corporation's official announcement.

Production company Oxford Films, external previously made Our Queen at 90, an ITV documentary marking the monarch's 90th birthday in 2016.

The hour-long documentary will air on 22 September at 21:00 BST.
