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 if you give me the all-clear to shoot.
00:04:51Consider it given.
00:04:55I'll tell you.
00:05:03Sorry, ma'am.
00:05:04Oh, Alicia Scott.
00:05:05I'm new.
00:05:06It's all right.
00:05:06She's with me.
00:05:07Come along.
00:05:13He's awake.
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.
00:06:00Venetia.
00:06:03Have they told you terrible things?
00:06:06Your colleagues downstairs?
00:06:09Go on, be candid.
00:06:11It is said you can be difficult.
00:06:17I can be a monster, did they say that?
00:06:19Yes, sir.
00:06:20That's true.
00:06:21But you need to be a monster to defeat Hitler.
00:06:25Did Jock give you my box?
00:06:27He did, sir.
00:06:28What's in it?
00:06:30You'd like me to open it?
00:06:32Unless you have x-ray vision, you will need to open it,
00:06:36so as to be able to tell me what'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.
00:06:55Very important.
00:06:57Then start with the Exchequer.
00:07:00Read it aloud.
00:07:02Don't be alarmed if you hear no response.
00:07:04I shall be making mental notes.
00:07:07The economic situation...
00:07:10What?
00:07:19The economic situation we have inherited is worse than 1949.
00:07:26And in many ways worse...
00:07:31Worse than 1947.
00:07:36Confidence in sterling is impaired.
00:07:38Now, our latest estimates...
00:07:41Suggests that in 1952, the United Kingdom will have a deficit on its general balance of overseas payments of between
00:07:48five and six hundred million pounds.
00:07:52Given the circumstances...
00:07:54I'd be interested to hear the PM's views regarding the chances for recovery.
00:08:06What?
00:08:13Either we get rid of him now or we lose the next election and quite possibly lose power for a
00:08:18whole generation.
00:08:19You must act, Antony.
00:08:21This is your time.
00:08:22The country needs a younger, more 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 on our recommendation.
00:08:40I can't just push him out.
00:08:43Then you must go and see the one person who can.
00:08:57What?
00:09:02What?
00:09:11My father.
00:09:20My aunt.
00:09:32Thank you very much.
00:09:38Hello.
00:09:40Are these for me?
00:09:42Thank 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.
00:10:03Oh, why?
00:10:05What 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 realise we're savages good for nothing
00:10:15but school and nursery food?
00:10:16It's all right.
00:10:17You can use your fingers.
00:10:19Philip.
00:10:20Look.
00:10:21Stop.
00:10:22Watch.
00:10:33Come on, Whit.
00:10:34Come on, Whit.
00:10:36Come on, Whit.
00:10:37Your old 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.
00:11:15Has 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.
00:11:26But 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.
00:12:04So important domestic matters are falling behind.
00:12:16What do you suggest I do?
00:12:18Well, as a 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 have run difficulties, 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,
00:13:01Well, take a step back, put your feet up, let 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 A.G.'s interest.
00:13:52The reason I agreed to grant you an audience,
00:13:56not to hear your grievances about Mr. Churchill, but to communicate mine 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,
00:14:14to encourage, to warm.
00:14:18It is better to be patient and get what you desire in the right time.
00:14:27And have high office thrust upon you when you are not ready.
00:14:33I speak from personal experience.
00:14:38Foreign Secretary.
00:14:41Your Majesty.
00:14:42Sir.
00:14:53Salve begins a walk back, sir.
00:15:14Come on.
00:15:24Come on.
00:15:25Come on.
00:15:25Come on.
00:15:27You're 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.
00:15:58Along the way, we may have to use some hand signals.
00:16:01This means stop.
00:16:03This 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.
00:16:32темbeau, темbeau!
00:16:34Tembeau!
00:16:34Tembeau!
00:16:35Tembeau!
00:16:35There are some...
00:16:36white flag.
00:16:37And all right.
00:16:38And there's here to at least be at least.
00:16:40Yeah, then.
00:16:40There's here to slack the country.
00:16:40Wild flag!
00:16:40We cannot allow it!
00:16:41We know it...
00:16:41But we cannot allow it we know it...
00:16:56Oh, look.
00:17:01You've slowly alarmed me.
00:17:05I'll drop the ladder for you.
00:17:07I'll keep him distracted.
00:17:08No, no, no.
00:17:10You stay with the princess.
00:17:11Philip.
00:17:12Elizabeth, go.
00:17:12Go.
00:17:13Right, your highness.
00:17:15Stay close.
00:17:16Hold on to my jacket.
00:17:25Oh, oh.
00:17:27Elizabeth.
00:17:28Hey, hey, hey.
00:17:30Hey.
00:17:30Hey!
00:17:31Hey!
00:17:32Over here!
00:17:33Over here!
00:17:34Hey!
00:17:35Around.
00:17:36Around.
00:17:37Huh?
00:17:38Your highness, very slowly.
00:17:47Easy.
00:17:49Easy.
00:17:50Stay with me.
00:17:50Now, keep going, your highness.
00:17:51Keep going.
00:17:52Good day.
00:17:52Hey!
00:17:53Hey!
00:17:53Stay with me!
00:17:55Away!
00:17:56Away!
00:17:57Away!
00:17:59Hey!
00:17:59Easy.
00:18:01Back away.
00:18:02When you go, easy.
00:18:09You're the king.
00:18:13Good boy.
00:18:19Christ.
00:18:27Excuse me, old chap.
00:18:29I'm the tree, Tom.
00:18:34You're a bloody idiot.
00:18:35I am.
00:18:45I've been thinking.
00:18:47Uh-oh.
00:18:51If Papa's condition should continue to improve, well, I thought I'd ask if we might return
00:18:58to Malta so 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.
00:19:38No.
00:19:38Come on.
00:19:39Come on.
00:19:40Just want to slop it out.
00:19:41No.
00:19:41There's never just one.
00:19:42No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:44Shh.
00:19:45Dimble.
00:19:46Dimble.
00:19:59Dimble.
00:20:00No.
00:20:02No.
00:20:06No.
00:20:08No.
00:20:35Are you up not here?
00:20:37Speed out.
00:20:42Right.
00:20:44Eight guns today, numbering from the right,
00:20:49moving 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 guards on the horn.
00:21:07Okay, the drive's over.
00:21:11Are you ready?
00:21:13Fill the vehicle.
00:21:14Thank you very much.
00:21:19Hello.
00:21:20Room for one more?
00:21:22Always.
00:21:26Right.
00:21:28Easy on the clutch.
00:21:29Eyes on the road.
00:21:31Not too fast.
00:21:32Don't worry, I'll be gentle with you, Papa.
00:21:44Couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep.
00:21:50When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep.
00:21:56Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered, am I?
00:22:07Lost my heart, but what of it?
00:22:12He is cold, I agree.
00:22:18He can laugh, but I love him, although the laugh's on me.
00:22:29I'll sing to him, each spring to him,
00:22:34And long for the day, when I cling to him.
00:22:41He'll wish, bothered, and bewildered, am I.
00:22:50I will kiss.
00:22:52I will die.
00:22:57Come on.
00:23:00Come on.
00:23:02Come on.
00:23:03Come on.
00:23:04Come on.
00:23:06Come on.
00:23:20for a last farewell to the royal travelers. Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh
00:23:26were off on a Commonwealth journey. Nineteen hours later, the royal plane
00:23:30landed at Nairobi. Ahead of them lay a 30,000 mile trip that will take them in
00:23:36five months to four continents. The journey which but for his illness the
00:23:40king himself would have undertaken was almost underway.
00:24:20Good morning, I'm
00:24:20Your Majesty.
00:24:227.30 sir.
00:24:28Sir?
00:25:02Sir?
00:25:04Sir?
00:25:08Sir?
00:25:10Sir?
00:25:10Sir?
00:25:11Sir?
00:25:21Sir?
00:25:35Sir?
00:25:36Sir?
00:25:49Sir?
00:25:52Sir?
00:25:58Sir?
00:26:03Sir?
00:26:04Sir?
00:26:05Sir?
00:26:07Sir?
00:26:09Sir?
00:26:11Sir?
00:26:26Sir?
00:26:29Sir?
00:26:29Sir?
00:26:30Sir?
00:26:31Sir?
00:26:36Sir?
00:26:42I'll call the foreign secretary, tell him, hide, park, 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.
00:27:39Let's see.
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. The news is breaking everywhere. They can't keep holding.
00:28:45No news on the princess?
00:28:47No, sir. Is it a yes, the BBC?
00:28:52It is.
00:29:00And God help her.
00:29:04They keep trying to start the engine.
00:29:07All we have to do is make sure the fan is off and we 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...
00:29:21Is wait.
00:29:23It's all right. I was a mechanic during the war.
00:29:30I have to do...
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 kill you?
00:29:48It will kill you.
00:29:52It will kill you.
00:29:57It will kill you.
00:29:59It will kill you.
00:30:00It will kill you.
00:30:03It will kill you.
00:30:08Then drive to Nanyuki.
00:30:10Nanyuki.
00:30:12Sorry.
00:30:12In a closed car, rather.
00:30:1310.30.
00:30:14Morris!
00:30:1410.35.
00:30:16Reutersfield.
00:30:17I'm not asking for a single motorist.
00:30:1910.45, sorry.
00:30:21There will be a demonstration of the units of the African Rifles.
00:30:23Christ.
00:30:26Hold on, would you?
00:30:271300, drive to Nanyuki Airfield on board.
00:30:30East African Airways, C-47.
00:30:32Parting on a 1330 Shredden flood.
00:30:35As 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.
00:31:02The undenormating
00:31:06She's gone!
00:31:07Now look!
00:31:29Hello, Susana.
00:31:30Hello, Susana.
00:31:31How was she talking?
00:31:33It was wonderful.

00:32:50Come here.
00:32:56Excuse me, sir.
00:32:59What is it, Marston?
00:33:01Oh.
00:33:02Hmm?
00:33:26The profound sense of personal grief felt amongst his people today stems from their
00:33:32respect.
00:33:32I'm going to happen.
00:33:34No.
00:33:36I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:33:39Yes, ma'am.
00:34:17Yes, ma'am.

00:35:39Your Royal Highness, this stage of the embalming process, it may distress you.
00:36:14You're wrong, Linus.

00:37:47It's all right.
00:37:56You're not going.
00:37:58I won't let you go.
00:38:01It's all right.
00:38:08May I have a word?
00:38:22It appears Miss MacDonald neglected to pack a black dress.
00:38:27We've called ahead to London and something will be brought onto the plane before you disembark.
00:38:32Right.
00:38:34And a word of warning, ma'am.
00:38:37A good many journalists outside.
00:38:44Royal correspondents mostly assigned to cover the tour.
00:38:52Well, should 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.
00:39:05Your regnal name.
00:39:07That is the name you'll take as queen.
00:39:10Your father took George.
00:39:12Obviously his name is...
00:39:15was...
00:39:16Albert.
00:39:18And before he abdicated, your uncle took Edward.
00:39:23Of 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.
00:40:11Well, ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:44So sorry about the dress, ma'am.

00:47:32Libya at five this morning
00:47:38sorry to disturb

00:47:51why I have to give way to Sir Tommy Lassels as private secretary to the
00:47:58sovereign he's my senior this is where I have to stand aside for the great man
00:48:04Martin
00:48:07so sorry
00:48:08ma'am
00:48:20what a nightmare
00:48:22Jodris at least had one foot in the real world and was your man our man on our side
00:48:32or as Tommy Lassels is 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
00:48:57at the earliest appropriate moment
00:49:00be 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 who then asked me quite unusually to ask you whether you might like to reconsider
00:49:18such a departure
00:49:19yes sir
00:49:20she felt that you had enjoyed an uncommonly close association with her late husband and earned not just his trust
00:49:28the trust and affection of the whole family
00:49:30thank you sir
00:49:31in the light of this she wondered whether you might consider staying on in a new role
00:49:37as controller of the Queen mother's household
00:49:41I see
00:49:41a 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
00:49:57I 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
00:50:11controller 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
00:50:19with whom you enjoyed
00:50:21the uncommonly close understanding
00:50:23is 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
00:51:05that because 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
00:51:17of those that serve the family
00:51:18I regret to tell you
00:51:20the talk
00:51:21ugly talk
00:51:23unbecoming tittle-tattle
00:51:24is a little else
00:51:25now I'm well aware
00:51:27of the toll
00:51:28that round-the-clock service
00:51:30takes on the private lives
00:51:31of those that serve
00:51:33I am also aware
00:51:35of the feelings
00:51:37generated by continued
00:51:39close proximity
00:51:40to the people you're working for
00:51:41but
00:51:42I would hate you to mistake
00:51:44those feelings
00:51:45for anything else
00:51:58will you thank the Queen Mother for her kind offer
00:52:06I should be delighted
00:52:08to accept
00:52:09there's no rush
00:52:11take your time
00:52:12to think it over
00:52:1372 hours
00:52:15a week
00:52:17I want you to make
00:52:18the right decision
00:52:19I already have sir
00:52:21the answer is yes
00:52:46I want you to make
00:52:59you
00:53:00and make a good time
00:53:01in
00:53:07that's the one
00:53:18your majesty
00:53:19I've been asked to give you this
00:53:22and this map from Her Majesty Queen Mary.
00:53:29Thank you, Chargerous.
00:53:31I'll take over from here.
00:53:39Thank you, Martin.
00:53:40Thank you, sir.
00:53:46Your Majesty.
00:53:49Martin.
00:54:17I'll take over from here.
00:54:20My brother is being drawn by this loss.
00:54:23But you must put those sentiments to one side now.
00:54:26For duty calls.
00:54:29The grief for your father's death
00:54:31will 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.
00:54:57And 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.
00:55:32Must always win.
00:55:37Ready, ma'am.
00:55:38It's all right.
00:55:39I'll escort it out from there.
00:55:41No, sir.
00:55:41If you don't mind, the crown takes precedence.
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,
00:57:19there struck a deep and somber note in our lives which resounded far and wide,
00:57:30stilled the clatter and traffic of 20th century life,
00:57:37and made countless millions of human beings around the world pause and look around them.
00:57:50The 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,
00:58:31I lived through every minute of this struggle,
00:58:36with a heart that never quavered,
00:58:40and 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 may hope to do.
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,
01:00:14did not pass her childhood in any certain expectation of the crown.
01:00:21This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:32On the edge of catastrophe.
01:00:40I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era, may well feel a
01:00:53thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem.
01:01:00God save the queen.
01:01:07God save the queen.
01:01:10God Maiden.
01:01:13God save the queen!
01:01:20God save the queen.
01:01:21God save the queen.
01:01:22And there, on…
01:01:24I don't know.
01:02:00I don't know.
01:02:32I don't know.
01:03:03I don't know.
