Queen hails unsung heroes in Christmas message

Queen Elizabeth II will pay tribute to inspirational unsung heroes in her Christmas Day broadcast to the Commonwealth on Sunday.

The 90-year-old monarch will put the focus on "ordinary people doing extraordinary things", according to the text of her annual message.

The monarch will urge people to achieve "small things with great love" in the speech, which is an integral part of Christmas Day traditions in Britain, and for millions around the world.
