00:19Friends, friends, we meet here today, not as Ghanaians,
00:30Guineans, Moroccans, Aegeans, Senegalese, or Malians, but as Africans, tired of being disrespected
00:42and abused by the corrupt and imperial powers of the past, the time has come to forge new
00:51alliances, those who understand the strategic importance of Africa and are willing to treat
00:59us as equals, not as subordinates, and not as slaves.
01:07This is our time.
01:11We must choose our own destiny, a socialist Africa for Africans.
01:44We've definitely seen better days, ma'am.
01:46We'll send in the foresters to the end of the season and fill it back.
01:49Yes.
01:50The old oak, she's still hanging on, just about.
01:53Oh, but she looks so old, ancient.
01:56Well, she will have to be felled in New Cross.
01:58What is she?
01:59Looks like it's set in for the day.
02:00Do you remember my grandson Daniel, ma'am?
02:03Yes, of course.
02:05Oh, is that his christening?
02:06That's right.
02:08We ought to head back, ma'am.
02:10Get rid of his brain.
02:11Right.
02:12Or go get a job lead.
02:14Change his package.
02:15What again?
02:18Can I help, ma'am?
02:19Oh.
02:24Oh.
02:25Oh.
02:26Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:28Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:31Oh.
02:36Oh.
02:37Thanks, Steeley.
02:47Wow.
02:49At the Elysée Palace, the ceremonial guard awaited Mr Kennedy's arrival.
02:53It has pleased the French that he came to Paris before going to Vienna to meet Mr Khrushchev.
02:58When is it, you think, if one's committed to a life of honesty, that one must start calling oneself middle
03:05-aged?
03:06Oh, no!
03:06Oh stop it. You're still a young girl. I caught sight of myself in a mirror today.
03:12I looked like an old woman. You haven't even finished having children yet.
03:18True. So, finish your family. Let the first one go to school. And then let's talk about being middle-aged.
03:25Well that won't be middle-aged, that'll be ancient.
03:30Oh, no, no. Not again.
03:37Mummy, be careful. No, stop it. It's rented.
03:46No. Oh no, yes, you've got it. Well done.
03:49It's macaroni and cheese. It's heavenly.
03:54It's all weekend's been heavenly.
03:57Sadly, I have to leave in the morning.
03:59Where's the floor?
04:02They're coming to dinner.
04:04In Kennedy's?
04:04After Vienna with Khrushchev, then Paris, they're coming to London.
04:08So we're having an informal dinner at Buckingham Palace.
04:12She's so young, I always thought she was the same age as you.
04:15She is.
04:19Oh, no.
04:25Oh, no, no, look.
04:26There she is.
04:26She was talking about the charm and elegance of Mr. Kennedy's wife, Jackie.
04:30Jackie, in fact, often stole the picture.
04:34It's beautiful.
04:35It's beautiful.
04:36It's beautiful.
04:36It's charming.
04:38It's beautiful.
04:39It's beautiful.
04:39It's beautiful.
04:40It's beautiful.
04:40Well, she is pretty, isn't she?
04:44Yes.
05:04I love you.
11:50And you.
12:00The President and First Lady are arriving, ma'am.
12:03Oh.
12:05There you are.
12:17Is it possible to think you could be marginally less excited?
12:21No.
12:27Porchie, what on earth is going on?
12:31They've all gone mad.
12:45Madam First Lady, welcome to Buckingham Palace.
12:49Mr President.
12:50Hello.
12:51Her Majesty is waiting for you in the blue toilet.
12:58There will be a brief reception before dinner, sir.
13:01Fantastic.
13:02Is Matt hysteria?
13:03Extraordinary behaviour.
13:05Can't you explain it?
13:09Done.
13:12For goodness sake.
13:13Come on, it's like royalty.
13:14Well, very funny.
13:29President first, President first.
13:33The Majesty.
13:35No curtsy.
13:36No curtsy.
13:37Mrs. Kennedy.
13:39Mrs. Kennedy.
13:41Mrs. Kennedy.
13:45Mrs. Kennedy.
13:46Mrs. Kennedy.
13:46Good evening, your royal majesty.
13:48Oh, dear.
13:50Oh, for goodness sake.
13:51Mr. President.
13:54Mr. President.
13:56Your Grace.
13:57Did they not get the protocol sheet?
13:59Yes.
14:00Yes.
14:00He obviously didn't read it.
14:02Yes, well.
14:03Shall we?
14:05Ah.
14:06Jackie.
14:08Where do you think she's going?
14:10Lord knows.
14:14Mrs. Kennedy.
14:16I feel like that went wrong in about 10,000 different ways.
14:20I've seen worse.
14:22But I'm not sure when.
14:25Let's drink.
14:27Please.
14:28Sorry, sir.
14:30Bloody shabbles.
14:31Oh, no.
14:33Oh, no.
14:44My heart goes out to him.
14:47Where does the behind closed doors over here?
14:49Khrushchev humiliate.
14:51Ran, ran through.
14:53Treated him like a little boy.
14:55No wonder the Cold War.
14:56It's two nations.
14:57Very good.
14:59Come on.
15:00Do my first.
15:07Such a radical.
15:09We won't vote.
15:11Yeah, we won't vote.
15:13No.
15:29Ah, so, how was she?
15:32Oh, terrific.
15:34She's divine.
15:36Is she?
15:37I'm frightfully clever.
15:39Yes.
15:41What are you doing?
15:42She wants a tour of the place.
15:44Does she?
15:45Well, then I'll do it.
15:46You know, it's all right.
15:47She asks me.
15:48No, it's my house, so I'll do it.
15:56Mrs. Kennedy, you're mine.
15:59You okay there?
16:01I hope my wife isn't causing too much trouble.
16:06Do you know you're the luckiest man on earth?
16:12Yes.
16:17Although people keep telling me the same thing.
16:25Where are they going?
16:27I have absolutely no idea.
16:32Now, this is the throne room.
16:34In the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, various balls and concerts were held here.
16:40Now, it's principally used for receptions and vestiges and taking over all wedding photographs.
16:52Shall we?
16:53Now, this is the picture gallery.
16:56This is my great-great-great-great-grandfather, George III, and he bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife,
17:05Queen Charlotte.
17:07Who's this?
17:09Ah, that's one of the pits.
17:11The younger.
17:13Known for something that's always rather endeared me to him.
17:17Crippling shyness.
17:19Apparently, he could barely look people in the eye.
17:23And yet, he became our prime minister.
17:26I quite understand.
17:29I'm also a shy person by nature.
17:39This leads to our private apartments.
17:44It's a shortcut.
17:50This is about as private as it gets in this place.
17:54It's where one feels most comfortable.
17:56Oh, I quite understand.
17:59You have to have somewhere to escape to.
18:03I've often wondered how someone who hates attention as much as I do ended up in a goldfish bowl like
18:09the White House.
18:12But I realize there's actually a perverse logic to a cripplingly shy person ending up in this position.
18:18Well, you have to explain that one to me.
18:20Well, a shy person will seek out someone strong to protect them.
18:25Yes, I'm with you so far.
18:27And a strong character is often one who enjoys public life.
18:32Thrives on it.
18:34And then before you know it, the very person you have turned to in order to protect you is the
18:40very reason you are exposed.
18:44Jack's idea of heaven is a crowd.
18:47Campaigning, fundraising, speech making.
18:50That's when he comes alive.
18:52He'd far sooner speak to 10,000 people under the glare of spotlights than be alone with me.
19:07And what's your idea of heaven?
19:11I like my own company.
19:13And to be alone in the countryside.
19:16And where do you go?
19:18A farm.
19:19Glenora, about an hour from Washington.
19:21Maryland.
19:23Virginia.
19:24Oh, yes.
19:28Ah.
19:31Hello, Stuart.
19:32Yes, ma'am.
19:33They're eating.
19:34Yes, ma'am.
19:35Oh, goodness.
19:38Hey, little puppy.
19:40What's your name?
19:41Well, that's sugar.
19:43Ah.
19:44And these are our puppies.
19:45Come here.
19:46Come here.
19:47Whiskey and sherry.
19:49Hello.
19:50Oh.
19:51Oh, you're very clever to be cautious.
19:54Oh, it's really one of the great paradoxes of being in a position where I have to talk to a
20:00great many people.
20:01But deep down, I'm happiest with animals.
20:04That makes two of us.
20:08I always think my sister would have made, if not the better, the more natural first lady.
20:14Oh, mine too.
20:16A born queen.
20:18And the greatest of British queens, in her own mind, anyway.
20:30You know, I liked her very much.
20:32And I've been all set to loathe her.
20:34But in the end, I was utterly charmed.
20:38It's a timely reminder.
20:39Of what?
20:40Oh.
20:41That people are so rarely what they seem.
20:43Well, then I don't know what Patrick was talking about.
20:45Patrick?
20:46Plunkett.
20:47I saw him last night at Tartuffe.
20:48No, is that a restaurant?
20:49It's a play, dear.
20:51A very famous French play.
20:53Oh, I knew that.
20:54Did you?
20:54Yes, it's a classic tragedy.
20:56Farce.
20:57By Poisson.
20:58Moliere.
20:59Oh.
20:59Pierre Sereau was a painter.
21:04When was the last time you even went to the theatre?
21:06Or gallery?
21:08Or even read a book?
21:10Oh, you're a savage.
21:11Oh, thank you.
21:13What about Patrick?
21:15Well, Patrick had dinner at the Radsevilles last week.
21:19Well, new best friend, Mrs. Kennedy, was also a guest.
21:23He called me this morning to tell me some of the things you'd overheard her say at dinner.
21:28Oh, what did she say?
21:29You'd have to ask Patrick.
21:32Must say, it did seem a little unkind.
21:35You know how reported speech has twisted in the retailing.
21:39I'm quite sure it was nothing.
21:42Don't worry.
21:44Don't worry.
21:51General Sergeant.
21:53Retail.
21:55Oh.
21:58Shoulder.
22:00Oh.
22:02Order.
22:04Oh.
22:05Oh.
22:08Oh.
22:09Oh.
22:12Patrick.
22:13Your Majesty.
22:15It's so kind of you to come.
22:20It's really not far.
22:21Are you still just round the corner at Wellington Barracks?
22:23I am.
22:24Are you still travelling up and down the country,
22:26recruiting for all the regiments from all the top schools?
22:29That's me.
22:33I gather,
22:35you saw the First Lady
22:38that did her recently.
22:39Who?
22:41Mrs. Kennedy.
22:43Margaret mentioned it.
22:44Yes.
22:48So how was that?
22:51Pleasant enough.
22:53Uneventful.
22:54You know how it is at the Ranservilles.
22:56No, I don't.
22:57Well, the food's always good.
22:59Yes, but I wasn't asking about the food.
23:04I'd like to know what was said.
23:08Patrick.
23:09Patrick.
23:09We grew up together.
23:10And we've always had a very frank and a very open relationship.
23:15Yes, ma'am.
23:15Yes.
23:16So, let's not break the habit of a lifetime.
23:22All right.
23:26What I ever heard the First Lady say,
23:30and I should mention I was several places along the table,
23:32it's possible that I misheard.
23:37was that she found Buckingham Palace second-rate,
23:42dilapidated and sad,
23:44like a neglected provincial hotel,
23:47and that one came away with a sense of a tired institution
23:54without a place in the modern world.
24:00I see.
24:10And did she have anything to say about me?
24:14Patrick.
24:14I was at the other end of the table.
24:18I...
24:23But the words I think I ever heard were...
24:29that in our head of state we had a middle-aged woman,
24:35so incurious,
24:38unintelligent,
24:39and unremarkable,
24:44that Britain's new reduced place in the world
24:47was not a surprise but an inevitability.
25:06Well...
25:09We must have her again soon.
25:17...
25:38We must have two days later.
25:38We must be a good one.
25:39We must be one.
25:39We must be a good one.
25:40We must have a good one.
25:44We must be one.
25:44We must be one.
25:45We must be one.
25:52Bad news, I'm afraid. Worse than bad.
25:55Regarding Nkrumah's Volta Dab project, President Kennedy's pulled out.
26:02Why?
26:03American involvement was conditional upon Ghana having severed all ties with the Russians.
26:07Turns out Nkrumah was in Moscow yesterday to receive the Order of Lenin, highest military honor.
26:14From Khrushchev himself.
26:17And what's the next step?
26:18I wish I knew. Wish I had an ace up my sleeve.
26:22The way President Kennedy had his First Lady in Paris.
26:39Why don't you send me?
26:44Where?
26:46To Ghana. On what would be seen as a personal trip.
26:50Absolutely not. That would be out of the question, ma'am.
26:53Why? A visit from the Crown to Ghana would be seen as a huge compliment.
26:57Too great a compliment.
26:58It would be singling out Ghana as a preferred nation.
27:02In doing so, we risk alienating Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tengen...
27:05Surely, by singling out Ghana, that might be just the thing to keep Nkrumah away from the Russians and in
27:09the Commonwealth.
27:10Perhaps. But as Queen, you cannot be seen to be engaging in the dirty business of politics.
27:14Yes, but as head of the Commonwealth, can I not be permitted just once to defend it?
27:17Your Majesty.
27:20It would be unsafe.
27:22It would be provocative.
27:25It would be, in my view, a profound misjudgment to get on that plane.
27:47The trip is impossible to justify it from any angle.
27:51It is unethical, unconstitutional and indefensible that the Queen should be going at all.
27:57What would you have me do? Nothing?
28:00I certainly wouldn't have you get into a chess match with a wily operator like Nkrumah.
28:05You're just being cynical.
28:06And you're being naive.
28:09When you last met him, Nkrumah was just Nkrumah.
28:12Now he's the Lion of Africa, playing the Soviets off against the Americans.
28:16And you're a lamb the Lion will have for lunch.
28:20The best thing you can do is stay at home and be what you're supposed to be.
28:23A puppet.
28:25A constitutional monarch.
28:27A puppet.
28:28If you like.
28:29Well, that's the whole point.
28:32I don't like.
28:49Sir.
28:51She's here.
28:53Here we go.
28:54This
28:55You're here.
29:55Stop.
29:56Stop.
29:57One moment.
29:58Yes.
30:01Reporters.
30:05Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
30:07Hey, hey, hey.
30:09Hey, my.
30:11Hey, my.
30:13Hey, my.
30:13Hey, my.
30:14Oh, brassier.
30:15I'm our club.
30:19Your majesty.
30:21Ghana welcomes you.
30:23Humbly.
30:25Yes.
30:28We're very happy to be here.
30:29Of course.
30:32Back, back, back.
30:33Back, back, back.
30:35Back, back, back.
30:35Oh.
30:37Ready.
30:40Thank you very much.
30:47Well, you've given him the photo he wanted.
30:51That'll be on the front page of every African newspaper making every other African leader choke
30:55with genocide.
30:56Yes, but it always does the trick.
31:08Are Dean here?
31:11Put him through.
31:12I have a secure line to Ghana.
31:14Yes, sir.
31:16But I thought he had agreed to suspend all contact with the Soviets.
31:20Apparently not.
31:21Ready, sir.
31:22Gentlemen, thank you.
31:34Out.
31:36Hello.
31:40Your Majesty.
31:41Prime Minister.
31:42I've just received confirmation that a team of international engineers has arrived in Ghana
31:47to begin work on Nkrumah's dam.
31:49Well.
31:51I see that's good news, isn't it?
31:54We encourage the Americans to go back to Nkrumah.
31:56Soviet engineers, ma'am.
31:59It appears Nkrumah's been playing us all off against one another.
32:02What?
32:03Leading us a merry dance.
32:04I'm afraid you've been used, ma'am.
32:07Just as we'd feel.
32:15Elizabeth?
32:17What's happened?
32:20In, sir.
32:21Martin.
32:23Ah, ah, ah.
32:24I wouldn't if I were you.
32:27Sir?
32:28She's asked to be alone.
32:32She said she's thinking.
32:35She said she's thinking.
32:58Big crook.
33:00Bye bye.
33:20What's going on?
33:23What are you doing?
33:26Elizabeth?
33:37Yes, this is Colonel Charteris.
33:39We have Martin Charteris on the telephone.
33:41A situation is developing in Ghana.
33:44Hello?
34:17I think we both understand the significance of this moment.
34:22Yes.
34:24But do we understand the terms?
34:30They appear to be in some kind of negotiation.
34:33What kind of negotiation?
34:34Get her out of there!
34:37Your Majesty.
34:43Oh, Lord.
34:45What's going on?
34:51He's taken her hand.
35:12They're dancing.
35:16Our Queen is dancing, sir.
35:20With an African.
35:21What?
35:23Was this agreed?
35:24Was this agreed?
35:25This was definitely not agreed.
35:27What are they doing?
35:28What are they doing?
35:31Hard to say.
35:32I believe it's the Foxtrot.
35:35The Foxtrot, sir.
35:37Huh?
35:39Huh?
35:41Hmm.
35:59Thanks.
36:22Ladies and gentlemen, the man I am proud to call
36:25the 35th president of the United States,
36:28but even more proud, to call my brother, John F. Kennedy.
36:39Thank you, Bobby.
36:46What is it to be an American today?
36:52Prosperous, powerful, privileged?
36:56Certainly.
36:59And yet, it is also troubling.
37:04I look around me and find our people divided as never before.
37:09Indeed, it is at no time since our civil war.
37:13There has been a change, a slippage in our moral and our intellectual strength.
37:20Blight has descended on our regulatory agencies and a dry rot beginning in Washington is seeping into every corner of
37:29America.
37:29Too many of us have lost our way, our will, and our sense of historic purpose.
37:37It is time for a renewal, a new generation of leadership, healing leadership, but we cannot do it alone.
37:46And so I am asking each of you to be pioneers in this renewal, in this healing, in the reclaiming
37:55of great American values, freedom, tolerance, and equality of opportunity.
38:01Then we can claim our position and responsibilities as leaders as leaders of a truly free world.
38:08God bless you all, and God bless the United States of America.
38:12God bless you all, and God bless you all.
38:20God bless you all, and God bless you all, and God bless you all.
38:34God bless you all, and God bless you all.
38:35Fantastic.
38:37You made this evening worthwhile.
38:38while. Ladies, if you'd like to step over here.
38:56When the British royal family visits the former colony, it doesn't normally make news of the U.S.
39:03But when Queen Elizabeth dances with a former son, a white monarch with an African leader,
39:10the world pays attention, and so too the Ghanaian leader, President Nkrumah himself.
39:16Off by the jester, Nkrumah...
39:19I'm going to Glenora with the kids in the morning.
39:22It's not the weekend yet.
39:25It's Wednesday. It's weekend enough for me.
39:29Don't be like that.
39:32Don't you take away my dignity and then tell me how to be.
39:36I just wanted to thank you, that's all.
39:39For the second time in recent weeks, you've been instrumental in changing a significant matter of foreign policy.
39:48And an African state that was fast running into the arms of the communists has been turned around and kept
39:54in the West.
39:57What does that have to do with me?

43:59Good afternoon, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:03This way, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:26Mrs. Kennedy, this way, please.
44:45Mrs. Kennedy, Your Majesty.
44:48Your Majesty.
44:51Thank you for seeing me.
44:55Mrs. Kennedy.
44:58Mrs. Kennedy, do sit down.
45:00Mrs. Kennedy, thank you.
45:11Shall we have tea?
45:32I asked to speak to you in private ahead of our lunch on Friday, because I owe you an apology.
45:38Whatever for?
45:40I think we both know the answer to that question.
45:57I had a social occasion.
45:59Shortly after our last visit, I made some comments.
46:04Some foolish comments, which I believe got back to you.
46:09There really is no need for this.
46:13Reports that you'd said certain things did get back to me.
46:19And I'll confess to being momentarily surprised, since they in no way reflected what I understood to be the spirit
46:26of our meeting.
46:27But in this job, I've learned, as I'm sure you have too, not to take things too seriously.
46:33People say things for all sorts of reasons, which get misquoted or misunderstood.
46:38And before you know it, those words have turned into something quite different.
46:42And everyone's upset or up in arms.
46:46I'm quite sure that you meant no harm nor disrespect.
46:49After all, why would you?
46:52We barely know one another.
46:54Still, it was inexcusable, so I can't offer an excuse.
46:58But if you'll allow me, I'd like to offer an explanation.
47:05Yes, of course.
47:07Last time we were in London, Jack and I probably seemed, at least from the outside, to be riding on
47:13a high.
47:14Yes, I should say so.
47:16The most celebrated, most famous couple in the world.
47:19Well, the truth is that I was still suffering from postnatal problems after the birth of our son.
47:26And Jack had his own health issues.
47:29To say we were strained would be an understatement.
47:34So, when we got to Paris, I don't mind telling you, I took some pleasure in shining there.
47:41And then, at the Elysee Palace.
47:44I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.
47:51I enjoyed it.
47:53But Jack didn't appreciate being upstaged behind closed doors.
47:59I can imagine.
48:03There are other factors too.
48:07Our doctor.
48:10Dr. Jacobson routinely administers us his cocktails before major trips.
48:17Vitamins.
48:21But other substances too.
48:26To help pep us up or calm us down.
48:35On the occasion of that dinner, he had given me something.
48:39A little booster.
48:41Booster.
48:44I told him I needed cheering up.
48:47But I guess it loosened my tongue.
48:51And then I heard some of these terrible things cut back to you.
48:58I can't tell you how much distress it's caused me.
49:02The idea that I might have upset someone I admire so much.
49:08That's very kind of you to say.
49:10It's true.
49:12The way you do your job.
49:15The way you cope with the pressure.
49:19The personal sacrifices you've made.
49:21Not to mention your composure and dignity.
49:27As a woman it's so inspiring.
49:31And what you just did in Ghana.
49:34It was just extraordinary.
49:41What I should have said.
49:43Was that I didn't do very much in Ghana.
49:46I got on a plane.
49:48And I went.
49:50And the only reason I went was because I felt utterly useless in comparison to you.
49:56And I was trying to compete.
49:59And if anything, I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
50:06But I didn't.
50:09I just sat there.
50:12And I let her say her piece.
50:14And savored your victory?
50:16Yes.
50:18And what do you want from me now?
50:21For ticking off?
50:22Well, don't you think I'm deserving of one?
50:24No.
50:26But she was so broken.
50:28And fragile.
50:30And lost.
50:33You did exactly the right thing.
50:37She insulted you, all of us.
50:40And you're not a saint.
50:41No.
50:42We know that already.
50:46There's ice in those veins when there needs to be.
50:49Yes.
50:52Well, three cheers to that.
51:05No.
51:07You've got to go to the river.
51:08No.
51:09No.
51:10Yes.
51:12No.
51:15Yes.
51:16No.
51:17Hello.
51:18Hello.
51:20Hello.
51:31Man.
51:32What is it?
51:33You're needed back to the house.
51:35Right.
51:41What's going on?
51:43I don't know, lad.
51:45Somebody help.
51:58There was absolute pandemonium around the scene.
52:01People screamed and lay down on the ground as shots were heard.
52:05Reporters saw President Kennedy lying flat on his face on the seat of his car.
52:10Men and women were screaming.
52:12He saw blood on the President's head.
52:15This is all we have here in Washington at this moment.
52:18And for the moment, I return you to Radio Newsreel in London.
52:21Hello, London.
52:22I just heard from Dallas that the President is still alive, but in critical condition.
52:28He was apparently shot in the head, and the Governor of Texas, Governor Connolly, was shot in the chest.
52:35Mrs. Kennedy was weeping, trying to hold up her husband's head when the reporters reached the car as it dashed
52:42toward the hospital.
52:44Vice President Lyndon Johnson was in the car behind the President.
52:48Blood transfusions are being given to President Kennedy.
52:51However, one of the two priests called into the room has administered the last sacrament of the church to President
52:59Kennedy.
53:01Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Connolly are stunned, but they are at the bedside of their husband.
53:17He's dead.
53:21He's dead.
54:00Didn't you say how unhappy she was?
54:04The marriage.
54:07The man who arrived.
54:07Mrs Kennedy accompanied the fallen president. Her clothes still...
54:11But that's the thing about unhappiness.
54:15All it takes is for something worse to come along.
54:19And you realise it was actually happiness after all.
54:28She's still wearing the same clothes.
54:36Couldn't it have found her something else?
54:38It was covered in our husband's blood.
54:46No, I think it's deliberate.
54:52Where are you going?
54:56Where are you going?
55:00Lyndon Johnson, sworn in on Air Force One less than 100 minutes after the official death of President Kennedy.
55:16The Majesty.
55:21Michael.
55:22I'd like everyone in the royal household to observe a full week of court mourning.
55:30and i would like the bell rung at westminster abbey
55:36ma'am custom dictates that the bell only be rung when a member of the royal family dies
55:44i know but i would like it to be rung every minute for an hour from 11 o'clock until
55:55midday
56:00yes ma'am
56:01in his prayer for god's help may we all find some light and hope in the darkness of the days
56:12that lie ahead
