00:00:12My husband and Abby are deeply touched by our welcome.
00:00:16Merth?
00:00:16Yes, how long do we have?
00:00:18We'll be loud in ten minutes.
00:00:20No, Martin.
00:00:22Will there be a microphone?
00:00:24I'm sure, ma'am.
00:00:25A little more than 50 years ago.
00:00:58Run!
00:01:04My husband and I are deeply touched by our welcome here this morning.
00:01:11A little more than 50 years ago, Nairobi was a savage place, the home of wild animals
00:01:17and uninherited except for the occasional bend of nomadic herdsmen.
00:01:22Now, it is a modern, vibrant city.
00:01:25A striking tribute to the men and women of all races who have made it a great centre of
00:01:31commerce and finance.
00:01:33Now, it remains only for me to pass on the apologies of my father, King George.
00:01:46Who is no doubt very jealous indeed that I have come in his place.
00:01:51He's getting stronger every day.
00:01:55And he will be here with you all again very soon.
00:02:04Your Royal Highness, may I present
00:02:07Senior Chief Waro-Hew Wa-Kanyu of the Kikoyu.
00:02:11Hello.
00:02:12Sronka of the Kipsigis.
00:02:14Hello.
00:02:15Good morning.
00:02:15Bui of the Massa.
00:02:17Yes, hello.
00:02:17Hello.
00:02:18Hello.
00:02:20Such a pleasure.
00:02:20Oh, gosh, look.
00:02:21I've got that one.
00:02:22And that one, actually.
00:02:24Oh, Christ.
00:02:24I've got that one, too.
00:02:25Look.
00:02:27Oh, come off it.
00:02:28Where did you steal that one from, eh?
00:02:31Independence is sweeping across the continent.
00:02:35Support is important more than ever.
00:02:38You think?
00:02:39Oh.
00:02:41Like the hat.
00:02:45It's not a head.
00:02:47It's a crown.
00:02:51It's not a head.
00:02:53It's not a head.
00:02:54It's not a head.
00:03:03It's not a head.
00:03:04It's not a head.
00:03:08It's not a head.
00:03:09It's not a head.
00:03:10It's not a head.
00:03:10It's not a head.
00:03:11It's not a head.
00:03:12It's not a head.
00:03:13It's not a head.
00:03:16It's not a head.
00:03:18It's not a head.
00:04:24A lot.
00:04:30Well, well.
00:04:33I tell you, I woke up this morning feeling like a new man.
00:04:37I think you should enjoy it, sir.
00:04:42Enjoy every minute while you can.
00:04:45Well, I intend to.
00:04:48I'm going to head straight to Sandringham, but if you give me the all-clear to shoot, consider it given.
00:04:56I'm going to head straight to Swan.
00:05:03Sorry, ma'am.
00:05:04Can I talk?
00:05:04Oh, then, if you've got.
00:05:05I'm new.

00:06:44well some papers about rationing what else some papers from the exchequer anything from the foreign
00:06:51office about america and the soviet union no sir then start with the exchequer read it aloud don't
00:07:02be alarmed if you hear no response i shall be making mental notes the economic what
00:07:19the economic situation we have inherited is worse than 1949
00:07:26and in many ways worse than 1947
00:07:36confidence in sterling is impaired
00:07:39now our latest estimates suggest that in 1952 the united kingdom will have a deficit on its general balance
00:07:46of overseas payments of between five and six hundred million pounds given the circumstances i'd be
00:07:54interested to hear the the pm's views regarding the chances for recovery
00:08:12either we get rid of him now or we lose the next election and quite possibly lose power for a
00:08:18whole
00:08:18generation you must act anthony this is your time the country needs a younger more dynamic man
00:08:25and what do you expect me to do
00:08:31he's the party leader and he became party leader on our recommendation
00:08:40i can't just push him out then you must go and see the one person who can
00:09:01man
00:09:03i
00:09:07i
00:09:08i
00:09:11i
00:09:12i
00:09:13i
00:09:53So, apparently, there's a large breeding herd of elephants at treetops, so we've got to get there early.
00:09:59Not too early, I hope.
00:10:03Oh, why? What else have you got in mind for our little holiday?
00:10:08Why does everybody think, just because we're royal, we like fine dining, don't they realize we're savages good for nothing
00:10:15but schools and nursery food?
00:10:16It's all right. You can use your fingers.
00:10:19Philip!
00:10:20Look, stop.
00:10:22Watch.
00:10:37You're all highness.
00:10:40Kiss me.
00:10:43Come on.
00:10:47His majesty will return from the chute at 4 p.m.
00:11:11Good afternoon, sir.
00:11:14Good afternoon.
00:11:15Has majesty wondered if you'd mind accompanying him on the chute at Beecher's Club today?
00:11:22No, not at all.
00:11:23Still rather wet underfoot, I'm afraid, after the storms yesterday, but we can provide you with Wellington boots.
00:11:28There's no need to worry.
00:11:30What size are you, sir?
00:11:32Nine and a half.
00:11:34Though my riding boots are a ten, and my trench boots were an eleven.
00:11:40Make of that what you will.
00:11:42Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye!
00:11:53Much of this is just a function of age.
00:11:58It focuses almost entirely on issues relating to America and the Soviet Union, so important domestic matters.
00:12:09Are falling behind.
00:12:16What do you suggest I do?
00:12:19Well, as sovereign, of course, there is nothing you can do from a constitutional standpoint.
00:12:26But as a friend, as Albert Windsor, you are the one person I can think of to whom he might
00:12:35listen.
00:12:37Well, that is where we are from.
00:12:41It's as difficult as I'm afraid.
00:12:43But I no longer am Albert Windsor.
00:12:47That person was murdered by his elder brother when he abdicated.
00:12:55And, of course, Albert Windsor would dearly love to say to his old friend Winston Churchill,
00:13:01Take a step back.
00:13:03Put your feet up.
00:13:05Let the younger generation have a go.
00:13:09But he is no longer with us.
00:13:11And that void has been filled by George VI, who, it turns out, is quite the stickler.
00:13:20And no more allow the sovereign to interfere with the prime minister than stand for office himself.
00:13:30Even when it's in the national interest, sir.
00:13:33The national interest or Anthony Eagin's interest.
00:13:52The reason I agreed to grant you an audience, not to hear your grievances about Mr. Churchill,
00:13:59but to communicate mine about you.
00:14:02Sir, the PM will step down in time.
00:14:08And until then, as sovereign, I do have the right to be consulted, to encourage, to warm.
00:14:19It is better to be patient and get what you desire in the right time.
00:14:27And a high office thrust upon you when you are not ready.
00:14:33I speak from personal experience.
00:14:39Foreign Secretary.
00:14:41Your Majesty.
00:14:42Sir.
00:14:52Someone begins to walk back, sir.
00:15:14Someone.
00:15:16Someone.
00:15:16Come on.
00:15:17Come on.
00:15:18There they go.
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:37I'm your guide. I'll take you to treetops.
00:15:42Pass me my rifle. And the shells.
00:15:50I must ask you to proceed in total silence from here on.
00:15:54Do not speak unless absolutely necessary, and then only using a low voice.
00:15:59Along the way, we may have to use some hand signals.
00:16:01This means stop. This means freeze.
00:16:04We'll move in small group, single file, maximum three at a time.
00:16:08It's all right. We'll be fine. After you, darling.
00:16:11Stay close, please. Arms late.
00:16:19Just a few times 안돼.
00:16:31Dembo, Dembo, Dembo!
00:16:34What have you got to do, Dembo?
00:16:35This is a gold flag.
00:16:38That's the gold flag all right.
00:16:42I am sure they are little further.
00:16:46He Dieser.
00:16:48Mind the forts стен, whoistan?
00:17:05I'll drop the ladder for you. I'll keep him distracted.
00:17:08No, no, no. You stay with the princess.
00:17:11Elizabeth, go. Go.
00:17:13By your highness, stay close. Hold on to my jacket.
00:17:28Easy. Easy. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. Hey. Over here. Over here. Hey.
00:17:35Around. Around. Huh?
00:17:38My highness, very slowly.
00:17:47Easy. Easy.
00:17:49Stay with me.
00:17:50I'll keep going, your highness. Keep going.
00:17:52Hey, hey. Stay with me.
00:17:55Away. Away.
00:17:57Away.
00:18:00As you're back away,
00:18:03when you go,
00:18:05easy,
00:18:09you're the king.
00:18:14Good boy.
00:18:15Good boy.
00:18:19All right.
00:18:28Excuse me, old chap.
00:18:29No, I'm the tree, Tom.
00:18:34You're a bloody idiot.
00:18:36I am.
00:18:45I've been thinking.
00:18:46Uh-oh.
00:18:51If Papa's condition should continue to improve,
00:18:55well, I thought I'd ask if we might return to Malta
00:18:58so you can resume your naval career.
00:19:01Really?
00:19:03Hmm.
00:19:06I know you've missed our life there.
00:19:10I have.
00:19:12Well, I have too.
00:19:15Very much.
00:19:21All right, Papa.
00:19:41There's never just one.
00:19:42No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:45No.
00:19:46Nothing.
00:20:00No.
00:20:02No.
00:20:04No.
00:20:06No.
00:20:35Are you up not here?
00:20:37Speed out!
00:20:42Right.
00:20:43Good morning, gentlemen.
00:20:44There we are.
00:20:45Eight guns today, numbering from the right,
00:20:48moving up two each drive.
00:20:54So if you draw one or eight,
00:20:57not to worry, you'll be in the thick of it soon enough.
00:21:04Two short parts on the horn.
00:21:07Indicate the drive's over.
00:21:11Are you ready?
00:21:13Fill the vehicle.
00:21:14Thank you very much.
00:21:15Oh.
00:21:19Hello.
00:21:20Room for one more?
00:21:22Always.
00:21:27Right.
00:21:28Easy on the clutch, eyes on the road, not too fast.
00:21:32Don't worry.
00:21:33I'll be gentle with you, Papa.
00:21:36Please make sure you're set in a hand.
00:21:37Help us all can!
00:21:37I couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep,
00:21:49When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
00:21:55Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered
00:22:00Am I?
00:22:07Lost my heart, but what of it?
00:22:12He is cold, I agree
00:22:17He can laugh, but I love him
00:22:23Although the laugh's on me
00:22:29I'll sing to him, each spring to him
00:22:35And long for the day when I cling to him
00:22:40The only witch, bothered, and bewildered
00:22:48Am I?
00:23:14The crowd's cheers heralded the arrival of the king's car
00:23:17Bringing their Majesties and Princess Margaret to the airport
00:23:21For a last farewell to the royal travelers
00:23:23Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh
00:23:26Were off on a commonwealth journey
00:23:28Nineteen hours later the royal plane landed at Nairobi
00:23:31Ahead of them lay a 30,000 mile trip
00:23:34That will take them in five months to four continents
00:23:38The journey which but for his illness
00:23:40The king himself would have undertaken
00:23:42Was almost underway
00:23:43And from there the world comes
00:24:02The king's also a sign of his own
00:24:04The king of the quandary
00:24:05I saw his father
00:24:06He'd never been in the band
00:24:06He'd never really be to the king
00:24:07I'd never really know
00:24:14He'd never be too
00:24:19good morning your majesty 7.30 sir
00:24:28sir
00:24:46the
00:25:03the
00:25:10I'm not here.
00:25:21Don't worry, my king has just lost me.
00:25:27Oh!
00:25:32No!
00:25:33No!
00:25:35No!
00:25:37No!
00:25:37No!
00:26:02Oh!
00:26:02Oh, my God.
00:26:32Oh, my God.
00:27:04My understanding is not.
00:27:05Then I suggest we do so before it breaks on the wires.
00:27:09We're trying.
00:27:10We're not exactly sure where she is at the moment.
00:27:13We're trying to contact the governor in Nairobi.
00:27:39Oh, my God.
00:27:41Oh, my God.
00:27:58Oh, my God.
00:28:23Let's go.
00:28:30We need to go.
00:28:32We can't. We haven't had the all clear.
00:28:35Do you think any other reporters anywhere in the world will be waiting for an all clear?
00:28:39I've had the BBC on the phone again.
00:28:41The news is breaking everywhere. They can't keep holding.
00:28:46No news on the princess?
00:28:47No, sir. Is it a yes to the BBC?
00:28:52It is.
00:28:59Thank God help her.
00:29:04They keep trying to start the engine.
00:29:07All they have to do is make sure the fan is off and wait.
00:29:11No, stop!
00:29:13She's just... she's overheated.
00:29:16No, can I have that? Thank you.
00:29:17All you have to do...
00:29:21It's weak.
00:29:23It's alright. I was a mechanic during the war.
00:29:31This is London.
00:29:33It is with the greatest sorrow that we make the following announcement.
00:29:37It was announced from Sandringham at 10.45 today.
00:29:41The death has been announced this morning.
00:29:43Since its own property is deprived of Sandringham.
00:29:46Will it be a day?
00:29:48It's a day.
00:29:52It's a day.
00:29:53It's a day.
00:29:55It's a day.
00:29:58It's a day.
00:30:00It's a day.
00:30:08And then drive to Nanuki.
00:30:10Nanuki.
00:30:11Nanuki.
00:30:12Sorry.
00:30:12In a closed car.
00:30:13Morris!
00:30:14Morris!
00:30:1410.35.
00:30:16Reutersfield.
00:30:1910.45, sorry.
00:30:21There'll be a demonstration of the units of the African rifles.
00:30:23Christ.
00:30:26Hold on, would you?
00:30:271300 drive to Nanuki airfield on board.
00:30:30East African Airways, C-47, departing on a 1330 Shred Room flight.
00:30:36As flags across the nation are lowered in tribute,
00:30:39and news spreads throughout our cities and villages,
00:30:43crowds gather to mourn King George VI.
00:30:47We are comforted by the knowledge that he spent his final hours
00:30:50in the happy company of his wife and youngest daughter.
00:30:54For it is as a devoted family man
00:30:57that we as a nation shall best remember him.
00:31:01They don't know.
00:31:06Cigana, now, man!
00:31:28What?
00:31:29Kelly with Lana!
00:31:30Kelly with Lana!
00:31:31How was she talking?
00:31:33It was wonderful.
00:31:34We saw elephants.
00:31:36Their first lemon.
00:31:38Oh, that looks delicious.
00:31:39Welcome, Bert, ma'am.
00:31:41Let's go.
00:31:42Let's drive, shall we?
00:31:46Ready?
00:31:48Ready?
00:31:50Ready?
00:31:50Ready?
00:31:50Go.
00:31:52Yay!
00:31:55Ready!
00:32:12Princess Lisbeth, the princess.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:38I love you, Zabani, and Duke.
00:32:40Duke is here.
00:32:57Excuse me, sir.
00:32:59What is it, Marston?
00:33:26The profound sense of personal grief
00:33:28felt amongst his people today
00:33:30stems from their respect.
00:33:32I'm going to have it.
00:33:34No, no, no.
00:33:36I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:33:39Yes, sir.
00:33:51No, no, no.
00:34:32The king, who retired to rest last night in his usual health,
00:34:37passed peacefully away in his sleep.
00:34:40The BBC offers profound sympathy
00:34:42to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family.
00:35:03The Queen of the Queen
00:35:39Your Royal Highness, this stage of the embalming process, it may distress you.
00:36:14Your Royal Highness.
00:36:40Your Royal Highness.
00:36:42Your Royal Highness.
00:37:11Your Royal Highness.
00:37:27They're going to send you away, but I won't let them, I'm going to tell my mother not to send
00:37:30you, I won't.
00:37:47It's all right, you're not going, I won't let you go, it's all right, may I have a word?
00:38:22It appears Miss Macdonald neglected to pack a black dress, we've called ahead to London and something will be brought
00:38:29onto the plane before you disembark.
00:38:32Right.
00:38:35And a word of warning, ma'am, a good many journalists outside.
00:38:44Royal correspondence, mostly, assigned to cover the tour.
00:38:52Should I say something?
00:38:53No, that won't be necessary.
00:38:56Though it would help if we could decide here and now on your name.
00:39:02My name?
00:39:03Yes, ma'am, your regnal name.
00:39:07That is the name you'll take as queen.
00:39:10Your father took George, obviously his name is, was, Albert.
00:39:18And before he abdicated, your uncle took Edward, of course, his name was David.
00:39:25What's wrong with my name?
00:39:26Nothing.
00:39:34Well, then, let's not overcomplicate matters unnecessarily.
00:39:40My name is Elizabeth.
00:39:43Then long live Queen Elizabeth.
00:40:04So sorry about the dress, ma'am.
00:40:13Well, ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:46Sir, I call James.
00:40:50Sir, I call James.
00:40:52Sir, I call James.
00:40:55Sir, I call James.
00:40:58Ha.
00:40:58Now.
00:41:03No.
00:41:04No.
00:41:13I call James.
00:41:16Yes.
00:41:16I don't know.
00:41:46I don't know.
00:42:25I don't know.
00:42:55I don't know.
00:43:21I don't know.
00:43:37It's the middle of the night.
00:43:39I couldn't sleep.
00:43:40No one in the country could sleep.
00:43:44I know one shouldn't believe everything one hears.
00:43:47But...
00:43:49I was speaking with Jock Colville's wife.
00:43:52Mary.
00:43:53Margaret.
00:43:54She said that Antony went to see the king ten days ago.
00:43:59What for?
00:44:01To express his concern about your age.
00:44:04Your leadership.
00:44:06Your incapacity.
00:44:08And to ask him to bid you to stand down.
00:44:11Oh, that's impossible.
00:44:12The king would never engage in such a treachery.
00:44:15And Antony would never dare.
00:44:17I've been like a father to him.
00:44:20I've groomed him every step of the way.
00:44:28Well, ignore me then.
00:44:31It's probably nothing.
00:44:34Come on.
00:44:35It's probably nothing.
00:44:37What are you up to?
00:44:39My eulogy for the king.
00:44:42It's broadcast tomorrow.
00:44:44The right words keep eluding me.
00:44:47They'll want you to fail, you know.
00:44:49I know.
00:44:51Anything less than perfect will be a disaster.
00:44:58Antony, eh?
00:45:09I can't sleep.
00:45:13No.
00:45:15No.
00:45:34I'm sorry.
00:45:38You're sorry.
00:45:42I'm sorry.
00:45:44I thought we'd have longer.
00:45:48Ma'am?
00:45:50Three hours to go now.
00:46:00What do you think will happen?
00:46:03When?
00:46:07When we land.
00:46:11What will happen then?
00:46:21Morning.
00:46:22Morning.
00:46:23PM will not be joining us this morning.
00:46:25I'm very much tired from all the emotion of yesterday.
00:46:31So where is he?
00:46:32He's still asleep.
00:46:34So in his absence, as deputy, I will preside.
00:46:43The Queen's flight is...
00:46:45Wait a minute, Antony.
00:46:47If you're persuading over the meeting on behalf of the PM,
00:46:52shouldn't you be sitting in the appropriate chair?
00:46:55Well, I don't think that's entirely necessary.
00:47:09Very well.
00:47:24Sir, the Queen's flight is now over Italy,
00:47:29having left the El Adem airfield in Libya at five this morning.
00:47:38Sorry to disturb.
00:47:45May I just say how very sorry I am
00:47:48that we'll not be working together anymore?
00:47:51Why?
00:47:52I have to give way to Sir Tommy Lassels.
00:47:56As private secretary to this offering,
00:47:59Martin, he's my senior.
00:48:01This is where I have to stand aside for the great man.
00:48:04Martin.
00:48:07So sorry.
00:48:15Now.
00:48:19What a nightmare.
00:48:22George Lassels at least had one foot in the real world.
00:48:26And was your man, our man, on our side?
00:48:32Or was Tommy Lassels stuck in the land that time for gold?
00:48:41You asked to see me, sir.
00:48:44I did.
00:48:47Will you sit?
00:48:49Thank you, sir.
00:48:53I'd assumed that, following the death of his late majesty,
00:48:56you would, at the earliest appropriate moment,
00:49:01be resuming your duties with the Royal Air Force.
00:49:03Yes, sir.
00:49:07I mentioned this to the Queen,
00:49:11the Queen Mother, this morning,
00:49:13who then asked me, quite unusually,
00:49:16to ask you whether you might like to reconsider such a departure.
00:49:20Yes, sir.
00:49:21She felt that you had enjoyed an uncommonly close association
00:49:24with her late husband,
00:49:26and earned not just his trust,
00:49:28but the trust and affection of the whole family.
00:49:31Thank you, sir.
00:49:31In the light of this,
00:49:33she wondered whether you might consider
00:49:35staying on in a new role
00:49:37as controller of the Queen Mother's household.
00:49:41I see.
00:49:42A kind and generous offer,
00:49:43as befits the widow
00:49:45of a kind
00:49:47and generous man.
00:49:51But, while I'm sure you're greatly flattered,
00:49:53I don't expect you to accept the post.
00:49:55Hence, my discouragement of the offer.
00:49:58I didn't want her majesty to suffer the embarrassment of a refusal.
00:50:01Why would I not accept, sir?
00:50:04You're asking the wrong question, Townsend.
00:50:06Why would you?
00:50:08You're a decorated war hero, still in your prime.
00:50:11A controller of the Queen Mother's household
00:50:13has no military associations,
00:50:15would take you away from your wife and children.
00:50:18After all, the person with whom you enjoyed
00:50:21the uncommonly close understanding is deceased.
00:50:30Unless I'm missing something.
00:50:33Unless there is someone else
00:50:35with whom you enjoy an uncommonly close understanding
00:50:38which would make accepting this post more attractive.
00:50:43I don't know what you're referring to, sir.
00:50:45Don't you, Group Captain Townsend?
00:50:47Husband and father.
00:50:52No, sir.
00:51:03You're probably telling yourself that
00:51:05because no one has confronted you about it,
00:51:08that no one can know.
00:51:10Allow me to disabuse you of that delusion.
00:51:14Within the close community of those that served the family,
00:51:18I regret to tell you
00:51:20that talk, ugly talk, unbecoming tittle-tattle,
00:51:24is a little else.
00:51:26Now, I'm well aware of the toll
00:51:28that a round-the-clock service takes on the private lives
00:51:31of those that serve.
00:51:33I am also aware of the feelings
00:51:37generated by continued close proximity
00:51:40to the people you're working for.
00:51:42But I would hate you to mistake those feelings
00:51:45for anything else.
00:51:58Will you thank the Queen Mother for her kind offer?
00:52:06I should be delighted to accept.
00:52:09There's no rush.
00:52:11Take your time to think it over.
00:52:1372 hours?
00:52:15A week?
00:52:17I want you to make the right decision.
00:52:19I already have, sir.
00:52:21The answer is yes.
00:52:23Yes.
00:52:25Yes.
00:52:26Yes.
00:52:27Yes.
00:52:28Yes.
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:55I want you to make the right decision.
00:53:00Impeccable timing.
00:53:06That's the one.
00:53:18Your Majesty, I've been asked to give you this
00:53:22and this map from Her Majesty Queen Mary.
00:53:29Thank you, Chargerous.
00:53:32I'll take over from here.
00:53:39Thank you, Martin.
00:53:40Thank you, sir.
00:53:46Your Majesty.
00:53:49Not in.
00:53:51Not in.
00:54:17And I know you will be as devastated as I am by this loss.
00:54:23But you must put those sentiments to one side now, for duty calls.
00:54:29The grief for your father's death will be felt far and wide.
00:54:34Your people will need your strength and leadership.
00:54:42I have seen three great monarchies brought down through their failure to separate personal indulgences from duty.
00:54:52You must not allow yourself to make similar mistakes.
00:54:58And while you mourn your father, you must also mourn someone else.
00:55:04Elizabeth Mountbatten.
00:55:07For she has now been replaced by another person.
00:55:11Elizabeth Regina.
00:55:17The two Elizabeths will frequently be in conflict with one another.
00:55:23The fact is, the crown must win.
00:55:30Must always win.
00:55:37Ready, ma'am.
00:55:38It's all right.
00:55:39I'll escort her down from there.
00:55:41No, sir.
00:55:41If you don't mind, the crown takes precedence.
00:55:51Go to the Fed Mayor.
00:55:54I'll escort her down from there.
00:55:54I know she's a difficultikit.
00:55:55Ha, ha.
00:56:06Richard.
00:56:14Stand by, everybody.
00:56:36This is London.
00:56:40Three, two, one.
00:57:12When the death of the king was announced to us yesterday morning, there struck a deep and
00:57:22somber note in our lives, which resounded far and wide, stilled the clatter and traffic
00:57:33of 20th century life, and made countless millions of human beings around the world pause and
00:57:47look around them.
00:57:51The king was greatly loved by all his peoples.
00:57:58The greatest shocks ever felt by this island fell upon us in his reign.
00:58:07Never in our long history were we exposed to greater perils of invasion and destruction.
00:58:20The late king, who assumed the heavy burden of the crown when he succeeded his brother,
00:58:31lived through every minute of this struggle with a heart that never quavered and a spirit
00:58:42undaunted.
00:58:52In the end, death came as a friend.
00:59:01And after a happy day of sunshine and sport, and after good night to those who loved him
00:59:09best, he fell asleep.
00:59:14As every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world may hope to
00:59:23do.
00:59:43Now, I must leave the treasures of the past and turn to the future.
00:59:51Now, famous have been the reigns of our queens.
00:59:57Some of the greatest periods in our history have unfolded under their scepters.
01:00:06Queen Elizabeth II, like her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I, did not pass her childhood
01:00:17in any certain expectation of the crown.
01:00:22This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:32On the edge of catastrophe.
01:00:39I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era,
01:00:50may well feel a thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem.
01:01:03God save the queen.
01:01:08God save the queen.
01:01:11God save the queen.
