00:00I thought you might like to see one or two things that we have from my grandfather, King
00:06George VI.
00:07Yes, I remember him very well.
00:09And this was a photograph of him on the beach with General Montgomery.
00:17Yes.
00:18In fact, if I remember very well.
00:19Yes, I spoke to Montgomery when I was in Normandy.
00:23Did you?
00:23And to Churchill.
00:25And was Sir Winston still smoking a cigar at that stage?
00:28He always had one, yes, it is, yes.
00:31My grandfather was so determined to go, he got very frustrated because they wouldn't
00:35let him go until several days later.
00:38Is this to pass around?
00:40Yes, why not?
00:42And then this was my grandfather's diary.
00:45That was his D-Day entry.
00:46It says, the news was given out at 8 a.m. that the invasion of the continent of Europe had
00:54started last night.
00:55The airborne troops had made successful landings in the night and had captured their objectives.
01:03So that was something.
01:04So, well, let's see.
