As part of its series on The New Elizabethans, BBC Radio 4 has broadcast a short programme on Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement.
You can listen to the 12-minute programme, which includes archive material from past BBC radio programmes, on the BBC website.
The New Elizabethans have been chosen by a panel of leading historians, who were asked to choose 'men and women whose actions during the reign of Elizabeth II have had a significant impact on lives in these islands and/or given the age its character, for better or worse'.
