A new radio station set up by Oxford broadcaster David Freeman will take on a royal flavour on Wednesday.

Mr Freeman, above, will mark Accession Day with seven interviews with royal biographers.

Last year, he set up a website --www.relaxwithabook.com -- offering video recordings of author interviews. He has now launched relaxwithabook Radio on Sky Digital 905, and has an archive of more than 400 interviews.

He said: "I am starting with an interview with Robert Lacey, who has a biography of the Queen coming out on February 6."
