Dame Helen Mirren has confessed she cried whilst rehearsing her BAFTAs speech which paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The Hollywood star spoke movingly about the late monarch, who passed away in September last year, at the BAFTAs on Sunday evening, with the Queen's grandson Prince William looking emotional over the nod to his late grandmother. The 77-year-old actress has a long running connection with the Queen and took on the role of the monarch in biographical drama film The Queen.
Helen spoke to the BAFTAs co-host Alison Hammond about doing the speech and what it meant to her to pay tribute to the Queen.
