Reeling in the Years returns to our screens tonight, and will take a trip back to 2011.
The half-hour programme will combine contemporary chart hits with some of the most memorable moments in news, current affairs, sport and entertainment.
Tonight’s episode will cover everything from Barack Obama’s visit to Ireland, to President Michael D. Higgins’ inauguration.
2011 saw Queen Elizabeth make a four-day state visit to Ireland, where she spoke in Irish at Dublin Castle.
It was also the year Enda Kenny became Taoiseach and a new coalition was formed between Fianna Gael and Labour.
The Fukushima nuclear disaster occurred in Japan in 2011, the same year the Christchurch earthquake hit New Zealand.
