00:07Yesterday morning at 2.41 a.m. at General Eisenhower's headquarters, General Jodl,
00:17the representative of the German High Command, signed the act of unconditional surrender of all
00:26German land, sea, and airports in Europe, hostilities will end officially at one minute after midnight
00:38tonight, Tuesday the 8th of May.
00:54We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, today is victory in Europe's day, long live
01:05the cause of freedom. God save the King.
01:14Ready? Margaret, I'm not sure this is a good idea.
01:17Come on, the war is over. We have to celebrate. What if something goes wrong?
01:21We'll have Porchy and Peter Townsend with us. What could possibly go wrong?
01:30We're escaping from the palace. Quick, out the servants' door before anyone sees us.
01:39We can't just break out like this. Oh shush, hurry up.
01:46Come on, girls. Hold your noses. Why?
01:54It stinks of alcohol. And sweat. It smells of life.
02:22No. Green Park or Trafalgar Square? I say the Ritz. It's where all the most elegant people go,
02:28and some G's in Worcester. Good plan. The Ritz it is.
02:31Shall we be inside the palace? Why? So we can wave to Mummy and Papa?
02:35Honestly, what's the matter with you? Can't you be irresponsible just once?
02:51Margaret? Margaret? Oh.
02:59Next week is May the 8th. Do you know, it's been over 50 years, and we've never done anything to
03:07commemorate it.
03:08What are you talking about? The Sovereign? I attend VE Day celebrations every year.
03:15No. I mean, our VE Day. It was quite a night. Do you remember?
03:25Of course I remember. We almost lost you. And then we very much found you. The real you. The you
03:39that you gave up in order to be the other you.
03:43Yes, all right. Don't you miss her? She was so much fun.
03:48Oh, it ain't my fault. Oh, it ain't my fault.
03:56And as I recall, we swore to keep the events of that evening secret.
04:05Gin.
04:07Well done.
04:09Revenge?
04:10I can't, I'm afraid. Early start. I'm expected in Clapham Junction, first thing.
04:17Whatever for?
04:18Something to do with the local council's closed circuit television system.
04:25Oh. Do you not have anything tomorrow? No. But, must eat soon. At the weekend. Good.
04:40Why? I always think that's where you're happiest. Come on, dogs. Come on.
04:48Come on.
05:07Green with lust. And sick with shyness. Let me lick your lacquer, Jones.
05:17God, oh, gosh, your royal highness. Put your finger up my nose.
05:29John Betjeman was so mad for me that his friend Morris Bower wrote this filthy bone about it.
05:39Pin your teeth upon my dress. Plant my head with watercress. Only you can make me happy. Wrap me in
05:51a woolen nap.
06:01No.
06:06Please, ma'am.
06:07Oh, ma'am.
06:10Ooh.
06:11In...
06:14In a plush and a plated pram.
06:21Wheel me round St. James's, ma'am.
06:26Let your...
06:30Ma'am?
06:34Let your...
06:40Ma'am.
06:42Is she on?
06:42He is.
06:43Smart book a lot.
06:45Clive.
06:47Oh my God.
06:49Oh my God.
06:50Oh my God.
06:51Oh my God.
07:12Oh my God.
07:14Oh my God.
07:42And no one would don't go to risk it.

28:20unimaginable. Dearest Margaret, many happy returns.
28:39I don't know whether to be touched or cross. Why? I've always wanted to sing
28:46your praises in public. Well, it was both uncalled for and rather thrilling.
28:54Everyone is being so nice. One should be seriously ill more often.
29:03Listen to that cough. You haven't started smoking again.
29:07No, of course not. That was cousin Halifax.
29:18Good night, Lilibet. Good night.
29:53Oh, God.
29:58Oh, you're the only one I've been to.
30:01Oh, I've been to.
30:06Oh, I've been to.
30:11Oh, I've been to.
30:18Oh.
30:46Oh.
31:18Hello, you.
31:28Well, goodbye, you.
31:30Stop it.
31:33We'll have you up and out of here in no time.
31:35No.
31:37I'm afraid it's serious this time.
31:42I can feel it.
31:46I can't feel it.
31:48I'll ache.
31:51I can't feel anything.
31:54Or see anything.
31:58My body's...
32:03deserting me one limb at a time.
32:08The doctors tell me you aren't eating.
32:12I'm really not hungry.
32:17Well, I brought you these.
32:20Your favourite.
32:23Jam tarts.
32:24Yeah.
32:26Now you're talking.
32:31And...
32:34A very pretty...
32:36walking stick.
32:38For when you're back on your feet.
32:40Well.
32:41Mm-hmm.
32:42Mm-hmm.
32:42Mm-hmm.
32:44Yeah.
35:30So sad.
35:32And such terrible news about Lord Carnarvon too.
35:37Poor chick.
35:40Why?
35:41What's happened?
35:42He collapsed while he was watching the news.
35:46Heart attack.
35:50Poor Jean.
35:52Poor you too.
35:55He was such a special friend.
36:03He would bring horse news, which is the only news I ever really want to hear.
36:09He used to hold up his mobile phone when horse bidding was underway so I could hear the action.
36:15He was devoted to you.
36:20And now all those closest to you are abandoning you one by one.
36:27What are you talking about?
36:29Portie?
36:30Yes.
36:32Mummy? Soon?
36:35Yes.
36:37Me?
36:38Don't you dare.
36:39It's the truth.
36:41I'm not thrilled about it.
36:44In fact I'm furious about it.
36:47I'm not ready to leave this particular party.
36:52But we need to discuss it.
36:55I've written a very detailed plan for my funeral.
37:00You know what a planner I am.
37:03And I want your reassurance that it will go exactly as I intend.
37:13I want to wear my flower dress.
37:17Not some horrid black thing.
37:20And please don't let them put red lipstick on me.
37:25For the chapel I want roses and tulips.
37:30And I want the finale.
37:33To Swan Lake.
37:35Playing on the organs.
37:37People arrive.
37:40And one more thing.
37:43Very important.
37:46Of course.
37:48Promise me.
37:50That I will actually be dead when they close the coffin.
37:58Oh.
38:01Oh, Mum.
38:05Bertie, old egg, said young Eustace.
38:08Fancy meeting you here.
38:10The one man in London who can support us in the style we're accustomed to.
38:16Oh, by the way, you've never met old Dogface, have you?
38:20Dogface?
38:21This is my cousin Bertie.
38:23Hmm.
38:24Is this silly?
38:25No, it's wonderful.
38:27Go on.
38:30What are you doing in London?
38:31I asked.
38:32Oh, buzzing round.
38:34We're just up for the day.
38:36Flying visit.
38:38Strictly unofficial.
38:39We oil back on the 310.
38:42We oil back on the 310.
38:45And now, touching on that lunch you very decently volunteered to stand us.
38:50Which shall it be?
38:52Ritz?
38:53Savoy?
38:54Carlton?
38:55Ritz, please.
38:57Because we love the Ritz, don't we?
39:00Honestly.
39:01You and the Ritz?
39:05If people don't know about that night, they'll never fully understand.
39:11Hmm.
39:12How irresponsible I was.
39:14The scale of the sacrifice you've made.
39:19How much of your true self you've locked up, hidden away.
39:27You caused havoc that night.
39:32It was the end of the war.
39:33Well, here's all.
39:44No.
39:48No.
39:49No.
39:51No.
41:17You came.
41:19We actually met friends upstairs and really should go.
41:21Why?
41:22Down here is the place to be.
41:29And why is that?
41:31Because down here there's no rank or background, just music.
41:42Well, in that case...
41:58Well, no, it ain't my fault
42:01I said, no, it ain't my fault
42:07Hell, no, it ain't my fault
42:12You blame her, I blame her, it ain't my fault
42:16Let's go!
42:18Oh, it ain't my fault
42:22I said, no, it ain't my fault
42:27Well, no, it ain't my fault
42:31You blame her, I blame her, it ain't my fault
42:35All right
42:37No, it ain't my fault
42:41But no, it ain't my fault
43:15I said, no, it ain't my fault
43:15She's been a responsible
43:16She's been a long time
43:18I'm going to look for her
43:22I'll come with you, Porchie
43:27All right, wait for me
43:39Here we go
43:40I don't know
43:45But no, it ain't my fault
44:03Come on, Portie.
44:04Let's get her out of here.
44:06No, don't.
44:08Leave her.
44:10Look how happy she is.
44:12Oh!
44:28Oh!
44:30Yeah.
45:37You dark horse.
45:39You'd have known you could jive.
45:41There must have been 50 men chasing you out.
45:44Don't exaggerate.
45:46What?
45:47I said don't exaggerate.
45:49It's hard to talk.
45:51When you're sloshed.
45:52When you're chewing gum.
45:56When did you get that?
45:58Well, I'm not sure.
46:01I think it might have come after a kiss.
46:03Inebert!
46:04You didn't intend to kiss him.
46:06This is what everyone else was doing.
46:07They didn't want to be rude.
46:10I think Portie might have seen got a bit cross.
46:13Oh dear.
46:14There we are.
46:14There we are.
46:29Look.
46:31The blossom's out.
46:33Yes.
46:34The sun is rising.
46:40What will this future hold?
46:43For us all?
46:51Aren't you coming?
46:53We can join mummy and papa for breakfast.
46:59I'm afraid not.
47:03But I will always be by your side.
47:09No matter what.
47:34Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep.
47:39When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep.
47:45Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I.
47:56Lost my heart, but what a bit.
48:01He is cold, I agree.
48:05Quiet.
48:05He can laugh, but I love it.
48:12Although the laugh's on me.
48:17I'll sing to him each spring to him.
48:23And long for the day when I'll cling to him.
48:28Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I.
48:42He's in the mud.
48:44We can laugh, but I'll go to work, but I'll be away.
48:47I'll be back.
48:51Hang on, wife.
48:52Four.
48:58Come on, friend.
49:03I'll be back.
