The Queen's annual Christmas speech was podcast for the first time in 2006, 30 years after she became the first Monarch to send an email, from an army airbase in 1976 (pictures shows the Queen with South African president Jacob Zuma in March 2010)

The Queen, pictured arriving with Prince Philip at the Royal Garden Party 2010, launched a YouTube channel in 2007. A year later she uploaded a video at Google's London headquarters (picture by Ian Jones)

This picture of Windsor Castle was taken in 1860, 150 years before it appeared on Flickr (by Roger Fenton).

The Queen joined Twitter in 2009 and her feed, twitter.com/Britishmonarchy now has nearly 50,000 followers, although she does not respond to individuals (she is pictured greeting the Ambassador Werner Matias Romero of El Salvador in 2010).
