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 Sandringham.
00:05:03Sorry, ma'am.
00:05:04Can I help you?
00:05:04Oh, Vanisha, Scott.
00:05:05I'm new.
00:05:06It's all right.
00:05:06She's with me.
00:05:08Come along.
00:05:13He's away.
00:05:14Yes, sir.
00:05:17Actually, he's asked to see you.
00:05:49Prime Minister?
00:05:51Is that the new girl?
00:05:54Yes, sir.
00:05:57Venetia.
00:05:59Louisa?
00:06:01Venetia.
00:06:02Venetia.
00:06:03Have they told you terrible things?
00:06:06Your colleagues downstairs?
00:06:09Go on, be candid.
00:06:12It is said
00:06:14you can
00:06:15be difficult.
00:06:17I can be a monster, did they say that?
00:06:19Yes, sir.
00:06:20That's true. But you need to be a monster
00:06:23to defeat Hitler.
00:06:25Did Jock give you my box?
00:06:27He did, sir.
00:06:28What did it?
00:06:30You'd like me to open it?
00:06:32Unless you have x-ray
00:06:34vision, you will need to open it
00:06:36so as to be able to tell me
00:06:38what's in it.
00:06:42Well?
00:06:45Some papers about rationing.
00:06:47What else?
00:06:48Some papers from the Exchequer.
00:06:50Anything from the Foreign Office?
00:06:52About America and the Soviet Union?
00:06:54No, sir.
00:06:55Oh, very important.
00:06:57Then start with the Exchequer.
00:07:00Read it aloud.
00:07:01Don't be alarmed if you hear no response.
00:07:05I shall be making mental notes.
00:07:08The economic situation...
00:07:19The economic situation we have inherited
00:07:22is worse than 1949
00:07:26and in many ways worse...
00:07:31Worse than 1947.
00:07:36Confidence in Stirling is impaired.
00:07:39Now, our latest estimate...
00:07:41Suggests that in 1952
00:07:43the United Kingdom
00:07:44will have a deficit
00:07:45on its general balance
00:07:47of overseas payments
00:07:48of between five and six hundred million pounds.
00:07:52Given the circumstances,
00:07:53I'd be interested to hear
00:07:55the PM's views
00:07:57regarding
00:07:58the chances
00:08:01to recover.
00:08:12Either we get rid of him now
00:08:14or we lose the next election
00:08:16and quite possibly lose power
00:08:17for a whole generation.
00:08:18You must act, Anthony.
00:08:21This is your time.
00:08:22The country needs a younger,
00:08:23more dynamic man.
00:08:25And what do you expect me to do?
00:08:27Hmm?
00:08:31He's the party leader
00:08:34and he became party leader
00:08:36on our recommendation.
00:08:40I can't just push him out.
00:08:42Then you must go
00:08:44and see the one person
00:08:45who can.
00:09:32Thank you very much.
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.
00:10:04What 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.
00:10:44Come on.
00:10:47His majesty will return from the chute at 4 p.m.
00:11:11Good afternoon, sir.
00:11:14Good afternoon.
00:11:15His 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?
00:11:31Nine 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.
00:11:42Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi!
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.
00:12:04So important domestic matters...
00:12:08...are falling behind.
00:12:16What do you suggest I do?
00:12:18Well, 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.
00:12:38Well, that is where we are from.
00:12:41It's what it is, I'm afraid.
00:12:43But I no longer am Albert Windsor.
00:12:47Well, that 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, and that void has been filled by George VI, who, it turns out,
00:13:18is quite the stickler.
00:13:19And no more allow the sovereign to interfere with the prime minister, then 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, but to communicate
00:14:00mine about you.
00:14:03Sir, 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 warn.
00:14:18It is better to be patient, and get what you desire, in the right time, and have high office thrust
00:14:28upon you when you are not ready.
00:14:33I speak from personal experience.
00:14:38Foreign Secretary.
00:14:41Your Majesty.
00:14:42Sir.
00:14:53Someone begins to walk back, sir.
00:14:57Someone.
00:15:16Come on.
00:15:17Come on.
00:15:17Come on.
00:15:17Come on.
00:15:18There we go.
00:15:19Come on.
00:15:21Come on.
00:15:21Come on.
00:15:21There you go.
00:15:22You've got it now.
00:15:23Come on.
00:15:24Come on.
00:15:27Come on.
00:15:27I think you'll be all right.
00:15:30I'll put from here.
00:15:31It looks that way, sir.
00:15:34Your Highness.
00:15:37I'm your guide.
00:15:38I'll take you to treetops.
00:15:40Very good.
00:15:42Pass me my rifle.
00:15:44And 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.
00:16:03This means freeze.
00:16:04This means freeze.
00:16:04We'll move in small group, single file, maximum three at a time.
00:16:08It's all right.
00:16:09We'll be fine.
00:16:10After you, darling.
00:16:11Stay close, please.
00:16:12Arms late.
00:16:14Arms late.
00:16:32That's what I've got.
00:16:32That's what I've got.
00:16:36That's what I've got.
00:17:05I'll drop the ladder for you.
00:17:07I'll keep him distracted.
00:17:08No.
00:17:09No, no, no.
00:17:10You stay with the princess.
00:17:11Philip.
00:17:12Elizabeth, go.
00:17:13Go.
00:17:14Right, Your Highness.
00:17:15Stay close.
00:17:16Hold on to my jacket.
00:17:25Elizabeth.
00:17:28Easy.
00:17:29Easy.
00:17:30Hey.
00:17:30Hey!
00:17:32Over here!
00:17:33Over here!
00:17:34Hey!
00:17:35Around.
00:17:36Around.
00:17:37Huh?
00:17:38Huh?
00:17:39Very slowly.
00:17:47Easy.
00:17:49Easy.
00:17:49Stay with me.
00:17:50Keep going, Your Highness.
00:17:51Keep going.
00:17:52Hey!
00:17:53Hey!
00:17:53Stay with me!
00:17:55Away!
00:17:56Away!
00:17:59Easy!
00:18:01Come back away.
00:18:02Where do you go?
00:18:05Easy.
00:18:08Easy.
00:18:09You're the king.
00:18:13Good boy.
00:18:15Good boy.
00:18:19Good boy.
00:18:27Excuse me, old chap.
00:18:33You're a bloody idiot.
00:18:44I've been thinking.
00:18:47Uh-oh.
00:18:51If Papa's conditions 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.
00:19:05I know you've missed our life there.
00:19:09I have.
00:19:12Well, I have too.
00:19:15Very much.
00:19:21All right, Papa.
00:19:34No.
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35No.
00:19:35Yes.
00:19:36Absolutely not.
00:19:37Absolutely so.
00:19:38No, no.
00:19:38Come on, there's one.
00:19:39Come on, I just want to slop it up.
00:19:41No, there's never just one.
00:19:42No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:44Ssshh, demble.
00:19:46Demble.
00:19:46Come on.
00:20:35Anyone not here?
00:20:37Beat out!
00:20:42Right.
00:20:43Good morning, gentlemen.
00:20:44Eight guns today.
00:20:46Numbering from the right, moving up two each drive.
00:20:54So if you draw one or eight, not 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.
00:21:08Are you ready to fill 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.
00:21:29Eyes on the road.
00:21:31Not too fast.
00:21:32Don't worry.
00:21:33I'll be gentle with you, Papa.
00:21:55Don't worry.
00:21:58I'll be gentle with you, Papa.
00:22:00Am I lost my heart, but what of it?
00:22:12He is cold.
00:22:14I agree.
00:22:17He can laugh, but I love him, although the laugh's on me.
00:22:29I'll sing to him, each spring to him, and long for the day when I cling to him.
00:22:40The only witch, bothered and bewildered and bewildered, am I.
00:23:14The crowd's cheers heralded the arrival of the king's car, bringing their majesties and princess Margaret to the airport.
00:23:21For a last farewell to the royal travelers.
00:23:24Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were off on a commonwealth journey.
00:23:28Nineteen hours later, the royal plane landed at Nairobi.
00:23:32Ahead of them lay a 30,000-mile trip that will take them in five months to four continents.
00:23:38The journey which, but for his illness, the king himself would have undertaken, was almost underway.
00:24:03Ahead of them lay a 30,000-mile.
00:24:09Pcentage in the inal размер and�%.
00:24:0920,000-mix in the next four years.
00:24:11Come on!
00:24:19Good morning your majesty. 7.30 sir.
00:24:28Sir?
00:25:08I'm not here.
00:25:21Don't worry, my king has just lost me.
00:25:28Oh!
00:25:32No!
00:25:32No!
00:25:35No!
00:25:37No!
00:25:47No!
00:26:05No!
00:26:06No!
00:26:06No!
00:26:07No!
00:26:07No!
00:26:08No!
00:26:10No!
00:26:16No!
00:26:19No!
00:26:23No!
00:26:25No!
00:26:42I called the foreign secretary, tell him, hide, bark, corner, he'll understand.
00:26:58Has the princess been notified?
00:27:01If you mean the new queen, my understanding is not.
00:27:05Then I suggest we do so before it breaks on the wires.
00:27:09We're trying. We're not exactly sure where she is at the moment.
00:27:13We're trying to contact the governor in Nairobi.
00:27:40We're trying to help.
00:27:43I'm trying to help.
00:27:44I'm trying to help.
00:28:23Let's go.
00:28:30We need to go.
00:28:32We can't. We haven't had the all clear.
00:28:35You 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.
00:28:45No news of 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 is wait.
00:29:23It's all right. I was a mechanic during the war.
00:29:30This 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.
00:29:46We'll take care of it.
00:29:48It's a great wish.
00:29:52It's a great wish.
00:29:55It's a great wish.
00:29:57It's a great wish.
00:29:59It's a great wish.
00:30:02I'm going to drive to Nanyukai.
00:30:10Nanyukai.
00:30:12Sorry, in a closed car.
00:30:13Morris!
00:30:14Morris!
00:30:151035.
00:30:16Reutersfield.
00:30:191045, 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 Nanyukai airfield on board.
00:30:30Northeast African Airways C-47, departing on a 1330 Shred Room flight.
00:30:36As flags across the nation are lowered in tribute and news spreads throughout our cities and
00:30:42villages, crowds gather to mourn King George VI.
00:30:47We are comforted by the knowledge that he spent his final hours in the happy company of his
00:30:52wife and youngest daughter.
00:30:54For it is as a devoted family man that we as a nation shall best remember him.
00:31:00They don't know.
00:31:03They don't know.
00:31:06Cigana, now, Mac.
00:31:28Hey, it was Lana.
00:31:30Hey, it was 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?
00:31:47Ready?
00:31:48Ready?
00:31:49Go.
00:31:50Go.
00:32:12Princess Elizabeth.
00:32:16The princess.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:37Go.
00:32:57Excuse me, sir.
00:32:59What is it, Marston?
00:33:26The profound sense of personal grief
00:33:29felt amongst his people today
00:33:30stems from their respect.
00:33:32I don't know what happened.
00:33:34No, no, no.
00:33:36I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:33:39Yes, sir.
00:34:11Yes, sir.
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.

00:35:09and so on,

00:35:10It's, it was his last night,
00:35:16to be in the city with the New York City.
00:35:39Your Royal Highness, this stage of the embalming process, it may distress you.
00:36:14You're wrong, Linus.
00:36:24You're wrong, Linus.
00:36:40You're wrong, Linus.
00:37:09You're wrong, Linus.
00:37:11You're wrong, Linus.
00:37:47You're wrong, Linus.
00:37:55You're wrong, Linus.
00:37:58I won't let you go.
00:38:08You're wrong, Linus.
00:38:31You're wrong, Linus.
00:38:58You're wrong, Linus.
00:39:00You're wrong, Linus.
00:39:20You're wrong, Linus.
00:39:40You're wrong, Linus.
00:39:41You're wrong, Linus.
00:39:43You're wrong, Linus.
00:39:44Then long live Queen Elizabeth.
00:40:04You're wrong, Linus.
00:40:24You're wrong, Linus.
00:40:29You're wrong, Linus.
00:40:32You're wrong, Linus.
00:40:34You're wrong, Linus.
00:40:37You're wrong, Linus.
00:40:46You're wrong, Linus.
00:40:50You're wrong, Linus.
00:41:09You're wrong, Linus.
00:41:11You're wrong, Linus.
00:41:11You're wrong, Linus.
00:41:22I don't know.
00:42:00I don't know.
00:42:28I don't know.
00:42:56I don't know.
00:43:37I don't know.
00:43:40No one in the country can sleep.
00:43:44I know one shouldn't believe everything one hears.
00:43:48But...
00:43:49I was speaking with Jock Colville's wife.
00:43:52Mary.
00:43:53Margaret.
00:43:53Margaret.
00:43:53She said that Antony went to see the king ten days ago.
00:43:59What for?
00:44:01To express his concern about your age, your leadership, your incapacity, and to ask him to bid you to stand
00:44:11down.
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.
00:44:26Well, ignore me, then.
00:44:31It's probably nothing.
00:44:34Come on, it's probably nothing.
00:44:37What are you up to?
00:44:39My eulogy for the king is broadcast tomorrow, and the 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.
00:44:57Antony, eh?
00:45:10I can't sleep.
00:45:13No.
00:45:34I'm sorry.
00:45:38You were sorry.
00:45:42I'm sorry.
00:45:44I thought we'd have longer.
00:45:48Ma'am?
00:45:51Three 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.
00:46:22The PM will not be joining us this morning.
00:46:26I'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.
00:46:46If you're persuading over the meeting on behalf of the PM...
00:46:52Shouldn't you be sitting in the appropriate chair?
00:46:55I don't think that's entirely necessary.
00:47:08Very well.
00:47:24Sir, the Queen's flight is now over Italy, having 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 that 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 the Sovereign, 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.
00:48:22Jodris 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.
00:48:52I'd assumed that, following the death of his late majesty, you would, at the earliest appropriate moment, be resuming your
00:49:02duties with the Royal Air Force.
00:49:04Yes, sir.
00:49:07I mentioned this to the Queen, the Queen Mother, this morning, who then asked me, quite unusually, to ask you
00:49:16whether you might like to reconsider such a departure.
00:49:20Yes, sir.
00:49:20She felt that you had enjoyed an uncommonly close association with her late husband, and earned not just his trust,
00:49:28but the trust and affection of the whole family.
00:49:31Thank you, sir.
00:49:32In the light of this, she wondered whether you might consider staying on in a new role as controller of
00:49:39the Queen Mother's household.
00:49:41I see.
00:49:41A kind and generous offer, as befits the widow of a kind and generous man.
00:49:51But, while I'm sure you're greatly flattered, I 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, controller of the Queen Mother's household, has no military associations, would
00:50:15take you away from your wife and children.
00:50:18After all, the person with whom you enjoyed the uncommonly close understanding is deceased.
00:50:30Unless I'm missing something.
00:50:33Unless there is someone else with whom you enjoy an uncommonly close understanding, which would make accepting this post more
00:50:41attractive.
00:50:43I don't know what you're referring to, sir.
00:50:45Don't you, Group Captain Townsend?
00:50:48Husband and father.
00:50:52No, sir.
00:51:03You're probably telling yourself that because no one has confronted you about it, that no one can know.
00:51:10Allow me to disabuse you of that delusion.
00:51:14Within the close community of those that serve the family, I regret to tell you that talk, ugly talk, unbecoming
00:51:23tittle-tattle, is a little else.
00:51:25Now, I'm well aware of the toll that round-the-clock service takes on the private lives of those that
00:51:32serve.
00:51:33I am also aware of the feelings generated by continued close proximity to the people you're working for, but I
00:51:42would hate you to mistake those feelings for 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.
00:52:13Seventy-two 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.
00:52:39Oh.
00:53:07He's
00:53:17the one your majesty i've been asked to give you this and this map from her majesty queen mary thank

00:54:52you must not allow yourself to make similar mistakes
00:54:57and while you mourn your father you must also mourn someone else
00:55:04elizabeth mountbatten

00:55:10elizabeth regina
00:55:17the two elizabeths will frequently be in conflict with one another
00:55:23the fact is
00:55:25the crown must win
00:55:31must always win
00:55:37ready ma'am it's all right
00:55:39alice hold it out from here
00:55:40no sir if you don't mind
00:55:42the crown takes precedence
00:55:44love you
00:56:06let's do it
00:56:08let's do it
00:56:12let's do it
00:56:13Stand by, everybody.
00:56:20Shocking, shocking.
00:56:36This is London.
00:56:39Three, two, one.
00:57:12When the death of the king was announced to us yesterday morning, there struck a deep and somber note in
00:57:24our lives,
00:57:24which resounded far and wide, stilled the clatter and traffic of 20th century life,
00:57:37and made countless billions of human beings around the world pause and look 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.
00:58:06Never 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,
00:58:36with a heart that never quavered,
00:58:41and a spirit undaunted.
00:58:52In the end, death came as a friend.
00:59:01And after a happy day of sunshine and sport,
00:59:06and after good night to those who loved him best,
00:59:11he fell asleep.
00:59:14As every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world
00:59:21may hope to do.
00:59:43Now, I must leave the treasures of the past
00:59:48and turn to the future.
00:59:52Famous have been the reigns of our queens.
00:59:57Some of the greatest periods in our history
01:00:00have unfolded under their scepters.
01:00:06Queen Elizabeth II,
01:00:09like her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I,
01:00:14did not pass her childhood
01:00:17in any certain expectation
01:00:19of the crown.
01:00:22This new Elizabethan age
01:00:25comes at a time when mankind stands
01:00:29uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:33On the edge
01:00:34of catastrophe.
01:00:39I, whose youth was passed
01:00:43in the august, unchallenged,
01:00:46and tranquil glories
01:00:48of the Victorian era,
01:00:51may well feel a thrill
01:00:53in invoking once more
01:00:56the prayer
01:00:58and the anthem.
01:01:03God, save the Queen.
01:01:08God, save the Queen.
01:01:10God, save the Queen.
01:01:30I don't know.
01:02:02I don't know.
01:02:37I don't know.
01:03:04I don't know.
