My favourite example is Queen Elizabeth's famous speech at Tilbury. We have a decent article on that. There are actually two sources for it, and they aren't compatible. The more probable one is hearsay, from a guy who used to do the speech she made as a kind of party piece. Most raconteurs embroider.
