Well, if Europe dont have get WW1 and WW2, Europe have perhaps still rule the world today. But when king George 5 was king, UK still ruled over much of the world and he was king over 25% of the planet. But the problems in the British Empire started allready after WW1 ended in 1918 (for example in India, Ireland, Egypt etc). And WW2 was the great disaster for the British Empire🤔😑
So do I, since - because of it - we lost three grand empires, while in the process, we enabled the entree of Marxist-Trotskyist Bolshevism, in *All the Russias* and 18 years later, triggered the emergence of Hitler and his Nasty Nazis, in what was once the gorgeous Deutschland Empire ! As Kaiser Wilhelm's armies headed for France in August 1914, he awoke from a terrible prophetic dream, wherein he saw what would happen, with the use of mustard gas, advanced weaponry and other munitions ! Still in shock, he summoned his generals, and ordered them to halt the intended first strike, and recall their mobile troops. However they resisted, using the excuse that if they did that, Britain would call them cowards, and use their action for propaganda purposes ! Hearing this, the Kaiser gave them permission to continue the assault, and the outcome was precisely as he had seen it, in his dream; culminating with total defeat for Germany ! Had that war been called off, in timely fashion, Britain and Germany could have shared the world, as friendly partners to this day !
@@gerrygeorge1468 Yes, and ww1 who began 1914 was the the beginning of the end not only for Germany and Britain, but for Europe as master of the universe in general. 😭
Yes, oh The Empire, when we all knew we were the chosen ones and the colonies were aware of their place in the system. Pity the cameras didn’t go to the poverty of the east end, or the mill towns in the midlands, or the pit villages of Durham and Northumberland.
Hello from Canada. Your work provides such a valuable and relatable glimpse of history to young people by bringing these images to life. Thank you for what you do.
1:22 the portrait of "Admiral's family, London, early C20th" is of Queen Maud & King Haakon VII with their son, the future King Olav V, of Norway. Queen Maud was the daughter of King Edward VII, and sister of King George V.
Fabulous. I find the Cable Street anti-facist protests and the armoury deployed against the workers during the 1926 General Strike particularly poignant. I also loved the women on bikes and scooters. Thank you so much for taking the time to create and upload this.
Please correct @ 1:16-1:32 Portrait of Admiral's Family: this is a portrait of The King and the Queen of Norway, with Olav, their only child, The Crown Prince of Norway.
Both women and men wore smart clothes and more so you see them wearing hats. My mom🙏🙏was born in 1926 -she was 4 days younger than Queen Elizabeth🙏🙏 During WW2 and rationing especially clothes she would know someone who could make clothes out of off cuts of whatever was around 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴❤️❤️
During this presentation which was superb I was interrupted by an ad for a Hisense television. As is now normal in the majority of ads the couple were one white man one non white woman. Surprisingly their neighbour was also white. Why are we being forced to accept this as normal.
@@nicolemurphy2629 We do. The joys of diversity. Bombs, beheadings, shootings , stabbings, phones snatched, forced marriages, single mums, and while you need to exit and enter countries with a passport we allow people in with no documents, no health checks , no criminal record checks. Why don't you travel through Africa and the Middle East and see how diverse their cultures are.
@@2learn4ever This is something I suspected was happening. I have been critical of you tube because of their censorship controls and how they can destroy a channel that someone has worked years to build a following. Truth is something you tube do not like. What I believe they are doing to me is bombarding me with ads as a punishment so I pay for a premium subscription. Within 30 seconds of a clip beginning an ad, then every 2 minutes more. It's not only the ads themselves which are of poor quality and often pushing suspect products but the loud artificial sound tracks that is supposed to be background music. I skip the ads and take zero notice of what is being pushed at me.
@@nicolemurphy2629 Indeed; but the society portrayed in UK adverts now is a non-existent society where every other home seems to have a mixed-race couple; that is simply wildly inaccurate. (according to the last census only 7% of UK households contained mixed-race families).
my grandmothers born in 1893 and 1900, i knew both of them in their eighties, they seen some changes.. mum is born in 1934, so although these times are gone, they are part of me.. thankyou for sharing this 🙂 x
Absolutely loved all the pictures. Especially the wine merchant (great suit), the three nifty dressers from Bristol, the brave anti fascist girl, the 4 girls going for coffee and the two girls on the bike. My mum would have been a teenager during most of these times. Amazing.
At 1:20 the picture is of Maud, (1869-1938)George V younger sister. She is here together with her son Olav V (1903-1991)of Norway and King Haakon VII former Prince Carl of Denmark.( 1872-1957). The picture could well be from 1911. Greetings from Norway!
Amazing! Love the clothes! I wonder if any of the vehicles are still around today? The colourisation is superb. What a difference a bit of colour makes. 12 out of 10!!
The photo to which you refer is a little misleading. The lady and her two daughters are standing on the roof of the then brand new Hillcott House, part of the new Haggerston council housing scheme in the east of London which was constructed between 1935 and 1948 as a slum-clearance project. They are looking down at the empty Victorian dwellings still awaiting demolition. Perhaps they had previously lived in one of the slum houses and have been allocated one of the shiny new flats. Ironically the Haggerston housing estate, which was bombed in the war, has itself now been swept away.
@@markshrimpton3138 Thank you for the explanation. How interesting. I was shocked to think the poor could have lived in those conditions like a third world country. But you point out these plots were vacant awaiting demolition. But I wonder if that's the condition they were in when the poor were living in them. Not fit for pigs even.

What gets me in a sad way is the fact that every single person in this video is now dead. They had their life; now it’s our turn - and then we’ll also be gone to make way for the next…and on and on it goes…
Maybe me and my girl can dress up at the Del Mar (California) Horseraces on Opening Day next July for the hat contest like that couple from Royal Ascot.....hmmmm
At 2:11 There are 4 more people I think are dressed for the races. They're crossing a road in front of a policeman conducting traffic, but they're all wearing the discs people wear for admission to posh bits of the stands at the races. Maybe more ideas from them too?
Great photos. Good work on colour. Maybe find some more appropriate music, though. This sounds like US bar/lounge muzack of the 1980s. Nothing to do with the time or places shown.
The photograph after the one of the two princes (Prince Albert Victor and Prince George) is wrongly captioned. It is not necessarily an ‘Admiral’s family’. It is Queen Maud of Norway and her husband the King (it may have been taken before their accession). The child is their son Haakon who became King of Norway in due time. Queen Maud was a daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra.
@ I think you’re right! I remember King Haakon who outlived his wife Queen Maud by nearly 20 years - so when King Olaf finally came to the throne he was quite middle aged.
Sometimes I wonder what makes faces in old photos look so different from faces these days. Is it the haircuts and facial hair on men and the hairstyles and the make-up on women? Or is it because facial features were just different?
How did it work with the refreshment trolley? Did the railroad company had universal pottery, you took your tea with you on the train and someone else collected the cups afterwards? Or was the train on a platform for so long that you easily could drink your tea and leave the cup over there?
That's not just an admiral's family at the 1:20 mark; that's Queen Maud of Norway, George V's sister, and her husband King Haakon, and son Olav--future King of Norway.
Early on you caption a photo "Admiral and his family", it's actually TM King Haakon VII and Queen Maud of Norway, with their son Prince Olaf. Queen Maud was a sister of George V.
Ah the days when people wore nice clothes, even the poor looked dignified in their caps and hats. Fashions have never been as ugly as they are now, practical maybe, but ugly.

Yes, and very appropriate to include them because the Queen (Maud) was sister to George V.
That explains the mustache, British Naval officers do not wear mustaches. It’s either a full beard or clean shaven.

Good
That admiral couple at the beginning looked just like the king and queen of Norway.
Maud of Wales was Queen of Norway as the wife of King Haakon VII. The youngest daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom.
The photograph after the one of the two princes (Prince Albert Victor and Prince George) is wrongly captioned. It is not necessarily an ‘Admiral’s family’.
