Former ITN Cameraman Peter Wilkinson (63) swapped warzones for corgis nearly 10 years ago. He’s the Queen’s official Operator though his salary is paid jointly by the BBC, ITN and Sky who access his footage.

I guess he gets to see a lot of interesting people and travel in style, but there must be a lot of waiting around and endless hand shakes and line ups to film. I wonder if Her Majesty has an official Editor and sits at the back of the room asking to trim out shots for no apparent reason.
