One will have a pint: UK's queen visits record-breaking soap opera set

LONDON, July 8 - Britain's Queen Elizabeth swapped Buckingham Palace for the fictional pub Rovers Return on Thursday when she visited the set of the world's longest-running television soap drama "Coronation Street".

She then met some of the soap opera's long-serving cast members outside the Rovers Return Inn to hear how the soap opera had coped with restrictions to allow filming to continue during the coronavirus pandemic. Coronation Street, with its gritty plotlines about life in a fictitious district in the northern city of Manchester, has become a national institution since it was first broadcast on Dec. 9, 1960.

Thursday's visit was the second to Coronation Street for the monarch, who is reportedly a fan of the show, after she opened a new set in 1982.
