Emmerdale's post office explosion went 'very wrong' when Queen Elizabeth visited the set.
In 2002, the monarch came to the Leeds based set to see filming of the ITV soap and celebrate its popularity with the UK public. Her visit to the set formed part of her Golden Jubilee celebrations.
Whilst the Queen had much to celebrate, the characters of Emmerdale not so much, as their beloved post office exploded in some very dramatic scenes. In fact, the Queen was there for the big day - and nearly found herself injured by a piece of flying debris.
