I always loved how the valet/butler took the quiet moment to mourn the king before informing everyone else, knowing controlled chaos would erupt.
What strikes me the most about that isn't just taking a private moment to mourn the king, but probably also sitting with the knowledge that for just a few moments, he's the only one in the world who knows the king has died. The moment he leaves the room everything will change.
I have too. He’s just having a few moments with His Majesty, just to grieve, before going to Her Majesty Queen Mary and telling her gently that The King has just passed away.
Me too
"compose ones self. Calm. Calm. Ok I need to walk out there, ind the correct person and tell them he...he...."
*staggers out yelling "dont go in!*
is the only moment they would give him to mourn.
Imagine for that brief moment being the only person in the world that knew the king had died
Would probably feel kinda powerful
The family serves no purpose
That happened to me once, but when I radioed the palace they ordered me to make sure Diana was dead then call Elton and ask him to pull out his elaborate candle in the wind, then spit, polish, gag and work it up and down until it exploded everywhere.
The scene where Margaret hears her mom's wails coming from her father's room and she slowly starts to realize what's happened always gets me.
It seems unrealistic that they would tell his mother and his wife first, and then tell a whole lot of other people before they tell his daughter when they all happen to be in the same house, but then they couldn't have this couple seconds of drama.
@@MyFiddlePlayer It's all happening at once on screen but in reality it is over the course of a couple hours.
What I see in the series it seems that this moment Margaret realizes that it "could have been" herself the one with the burden of being Queen if not for having an elder sister, Elizabeth, whom now must carry the Crown, leading to a complete change of events toward her own life going forward. Her sister is no longer her sister. They are no longer young adults. They are no longer Princesses.. They are Queen and subject. That moment of realization, the loss of TWO family members in a snap must really do a person in.
It’s so sad that Margaret is left standing there to figure it out for herself and nobody stops to tell her or console her. My adult children were devastated when their father died. They were my first thought after my initial shock. All we could do was hug and cry. It was a time we all needed each other. Whatever kind of person Margaret was she deserved comfort.
That was me when my mom died. My dad and my brothers were upstairs in the room with her in her last moments, but i couldnt deal with being in the room. I was hiding in my closet crying, then she passed and i heard my dad cry so loud 😢.
The way the butler was there even after his death, paying omage and praying, that’s true loyalty.
Homage
@@Heidi_Bradshawthank you.
Well this is the butler who wakes the HM each morning, gives him his papers, serves him him breakfast, maybe helps him dress.
I’m sure they were very close.
From what I’ve learned it was hard to be around HM King George VI and not become friends with him.
How lucky were were to have one of the kindest men in British become king.
@@jimmy2k4o that must have been a very interesting life though, basically living and growing old with HM, cool.
They were in a secret relationship.
The devastation of Mary of Teck. She lived through two world wars, the passing of her husband, the deaths of three of her children (King George VI, Prince George, and Prince John), and the ruin of her firstborn son.
Even for a royal being a mother was not easy , the chances of dying in childbirth where very high and a lot of children died before their fifth birthday
Poor Queen Mary got me. No parent should have to outlive their child, no matter how old.
And queen elizabeth, the queen mother, sadly outlived Margaret by a month or two passing away at I think 101. Or 102
Queen Mary outlived 3 of her children. Prince John died in 1919, the Duke of Kent in 1942 and King George VI in 1953. She herself died 13 months after the King in March 1953.
"Yeah it's every parent's dream to outlive their children"
-Homer Simpson
@@kiemur1 I think you mean that King George VI died in 1952 , not 1953.
She outlived three of her sons.
Prince John, he was 13, in 1918.
Prince George, Duke of Kent. Age 39, in 1942. Plane crash.
King George VI. 1952.
From what I have read about royal life, it is NEVER a good sign when you see people running in a royal palace. It nearly always means something terrible has happened or is about to happen.
It’s not a palace
Its the Lings personal home meaning he owns it not the Crown.Its called Sandringham House
I was taught by my mentor at business school “never run in the offices. It disrupts the employees”. 🤓
@@danawinsor1380 Lungs
I mean Kings
Fun Fact:
As nobody knows what time he died (other than it had to be between Midnight, which is when he went to sleep, and 7:50 a.m., when his body was discovered) nobody knows exactly when Elizabeth became Queen.
Nice solution: the time the king was acknowledged dead by the butler, Elizabeth became Queen.
@@dukeofglasgow9354 Yet Royal Protocol dictates the EXACT moment of death of a monarch is the exact moment the heir takes over
Everyone knows he died at 3:05AM
@@bdub8522 Not from what I read,
I American okay
@@glennmandigo6069 it was a joke
Margaret's reaction was just heartbreaking.
I love the way Vanessa Kirby plays her in this scene. Margaret was only 22 and you can read her young age in this scene so well.
The Queen Mother wailing out "Bertie, Oh Bertie!!" gets me every time
Especially when she cries out "OH Bertie please no!"
I can only imagine how shocked and devastated Princess Margaret was since she had just spent some quality time with her father the night before he died
I understand that Princess Margaret was very close to her father, in a different way than her sister was. It was truly devastating when she lost her father, really hit her very hard. It was Peter Townsend who was able to be of most comfort to her at that time, since Peter had been one of the late King's equrries, and was also close to King George. Knowing that ultimately, although Margaret fell in love with Peter and he loved her also, they would not be permitted to marry. Peter was divorced and this was not okay in royal circles. Of course now, 80 years later, most of the late Queen's children have divorced (including the present King) and no one would think twice about letting a secondary heir marry whom they want to. But let's take a look at this. Andrew married Fergie and they should never have married. That marriage failed because Andrew was gone most of the time and Fergie wouldn't sacrifice her happiness and be faithful to Andrew. Harry married Meghan and well how's that working out for the Monarchy these days. I think if the last couple of generations of the British monarchy have taught us anything it's that it's admired less when they seem more like us than people one would want look up to.
@@lesleyschultz6846I read before that the late King described Elizabeth as his pride and Margaret as his joy.
In the series the Christmas caroling is portrayed as being the night before his passing. In reality, he died a month and a half after his last Christmas.
@@tarielkaroldan4106 They weren’t singing Christmas Carols.
@@terminallumbago6465 no? OK
Vanessa Kirby was absolutely wonderful as Margaret, and in this episode was heartbreaking. The vulnerability was devastating. Perfect casting.
She was divine I agree
I love the tiny detail of taking the flag down because at that moment the monarch was not in residence
I'm glad you mentioned that. I didn't understand the significance of lowering the flag. I thought it might something do with mourning. In an indirect way it was, but I see it was more a matter or a monarch being present.
This was relevant when the flags at Buckingham Palace were not flown at half mast on the death of Diana. The Queen wasn’t in residence, she was at Balmoral. Ironically, they were flown at half mast when she died there. 🧐
@@andrewbrendan1579yup the Royal Standard is only flown in the presence of the Monarch.
As George VI had passed on, they’d lower the flag and replace it with the Union Jack flown at halfmast
@@SportyMabambaThe protocol that the Union Flag be flown over royal residences when the Sovereign is not in residence actually only came about after Diana’s death, due to the furore over the Royal Standard not being lowered to half-staff once the Queen had returned to Buckingham Palace. The flagstaff simply remained empty before then.
They're basically always announcing where the ruling Monarch is. Imagine if ButtHurt Harry wanted to kill William when William is King. All he has to do is look for which palace has the flag up. "Ah my half brother is in the Scottish retreat. M3gan? Send in the assassins."
The thing that makes this even more sadder was that Queen Mary was King George VI mother, when she figures out she outlived her own child makes this even more sad.
It's worse. George VI was the third son she outlived. Two of the king's younger brothers died before him- Prince George the Duke of Kent (the current Duke of Kent's father) died in 1948, and Prince John died in 1919 (at only 13 years old).
She outlived the three children perhaps most beloved to her. George was her favorite son and she was devastated at his death. She grew closer to Albert George when he married and she often visited the York sisters and especially when he became king and she was his support. I cannot imagine outliving one child let alone three where two of them were adults.
@@agentrikamcgeeJohn's death seems the most tragic to me. He never even got to grow up.
The three royal women reacted differently:
Queen Mary: quiet horror
Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother): distraught wailing
Princess Margaret: disbelief and slight denial
The three actresses did these wonderfully.
"Bad news, the worst"
-Churchill on hearing of the King's death
And he'd had some bad news in his time
@@worldcomicsreview354well the king at the time was a symbol of strength and unity through the worst times of war and blitz. Other than Churchill himself, the king was the most publicly influential person at the time and was extremely popular for his courage and struggle through the war. Not to mention they were great friends and personal confidants to each other. Churchill probably realized how utterly devastating his death would be to a public still reeling from the effects of war.
Both Churchill and King George made requests to join the troops on the beaches at the. D-Day landings, but both were denied, they were too important to lose.
@@Finnbobjimbob Interestingly each man was willing to risk his OWN life to be a witness to D-DAY but neither was willing to risk the other's life believing that their respective positions as King and Prime Minister were too important to risk for the sake of the nation.
Of course, considering how the first wave of D-DAY troops sent to storm those steep Normandy cliffs above the shores were 17-year-old boys who via combinations of naivity, valor and hormones thought they were invincible immortals only to be horribly mowed down by the NAZI defenders almost to the last man would have been a horrific slaughter to have had to witness even for those who'd already lived through wars and had no illusions about it.
@@wardarcade7452 You watch too many films
I enjoyed every scene with Tommy Lascelles in this series. All business, even in retirement. The trains ran on time while in his stead.
Although Prince Phillip thought Lascelles "lived in the past" too often, he was very good at his job. Also kudos to Pip Torrens. His performance as Tommy was stellar, not overdone or limp-wristed. He got it with just the right amount of discipline and dignity.
Lascelles was incredibly loyal to the royal family but at times a little obtuse I believe. Especially with the Queen’s speech and the Lord Altrincham business
@@myamdane6895 Lascelles raised obtuseness to a high art. Which is quite a feat to feature obtuseness without it being noticeably obtuse.
Widows Wail: A cry so tremendously sad and strong, it can echo across the World. Usually used by a grieving widow or grieving mother.
Joffrey's sword.
@@eddydraconian yes, because he separated men from their wives and children and their heads.
I can't imagine the grief that the king's valet/butler must have felt finding King George laying there. Imagine dedicating your entire life and sense of self to another human being, and then finding them laying there
arguably one of the kings closest companions, if you would call him one
@@adamwash917 Absolutely. Been with him every day for years on end, listening to him when he is up and down, tending to his every whim and will, just to find him dead. At least he died in his sleep. That must have been a small comfort, no?
Laying? Was he a chicken? Or a bricklayer? Surely the correct grammar is "lying there", not "laying there".
This is one of THE most iconic scenes of The Crown.
I feel really sorry for the Butler. A man whose life was to serve the king, most likely knew him in his most private and vulnerable moments, has to morn privately for a few seconds, before resuming his duty.
That moment the King’ personal valet took to send him farewell and thanks for all the memories … one wonders what happens to the Sovereign’ personal staff post dispatcher …
Before King Charles coronation or shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth, it was mentioned that the personal staff of the queen was dismissed immediately after she died. I apologize if I don't have the details. It was just a moment on TV.
I assume they're reassigned. They're not directly hired by the monarch but rather the organization that provides staff to the monarchy as a whole so I can't imagine they would go without work for long.
re their 'organisation hiring' - was this true even then? i was under the impression that the Royal Family had a system whereby many of their London-based staff were recruited from the family's country-side residences tenant families .. ? My grandmother joined the then Queen Elizabeth's staff thru just such a route.
Well I seriously doubt the Queen personally interviewed and hired people, then paid them directly from her bank account. They have well over a thousand staff so there must be some form of organisation that manages them.
Hiring from local areas may very well be the hiring criteria used by that organisation.
Also to answer your original question, I did a little reading on the topic. With the death of QE, Charles took over all of her staff and then there was a 6 month grace period while they tried to relocate anybody who had been made redundant due to duplicate positions. That might give you some insight in how they handled the staff after King George's death.@@silenusut
@@arandombard1197 I think that once you've worked for the Queen, you can work just about anywhere after that.
I can’t imagine how Mary of Teck felt. The poor woman outlived three of her children (Bertie, Prince George, and John).
I hope she RIP knowing her Granddaughter had the longest reign ever, and lived a full amazing life.
Vanessa Kirby shaking is amazing.
But the most important point: The flag did not go on half-mast - the turned it away completly - Because no more monarch in the palast - no more flag...
I know before Dianas Death no flag would fly at a place where there was no rueling Monarch at.Including Buckingham Palace.The Union Jack only went up at Buckingham Palace when Diana died because people were mad about there being no flag at the Palace.Once the Late King George VI died he was not King anymore meaning that his Royal Standard was lowered and the Royal Standard passes to the Late Queen Elizabeth.
The rules were changed after Diana's death in 1997.
@@michaelocyoung Nope. The Union flag is lowered to half mast but the Royal Standard (as flown here) is never lowered because it is only flown wherever the Monarch is in residence.
@@1chish Negative the rule change with Diana death in 1997 before that the royal standard was flown, if the monarch was at the palace and no flag even the union jack was half mast at the palace before Diana death.
@@DarthCrimson You confuse the Royal Standard with the Union Flag. Btw its only a 'Jack' when flown on the jackstaff of a Royal Navy ship.
The Royal Standard is only flown when the Sovereign is present. And there is always a Sovereign as one succeeds as the parent dies. It is never flown at half-mast - symbolising the continuation of the monarchy.
However the Union Flag can be and is flown at half mast.
Nothing changed in 1997. The Queen ordered the Royal Standard to be lowered from the Palace flagpole when she left to attend the funeral and the Union Flag be flown at half-mast until midnight on the Saturday.

In the series, music plays over this scene, yet here, no music is needed to evoke the raw acting on display. Brilliant.
queen mary saw 3 of her children die.
that was the 3rd and last time . she would lose one
her face when she felt "now he is gone and i still live . no "
poor her poor mother
Yes, this was the third of her sons to die. First Prince John (at Wood Farm, from complications of epilepsy) then the Duke of Gloucester (in a plane crash), then George VI in his sleep. She said "I have lost three sons and I have never been able to say goodbye to any of them."
@@chooseyourpoison5105Duke of Kent
Seems more real without the music somehow. The grand fanfare makes the moment so important but the quiet and crying, so much more real!
My heart tears apart at all the reactions… the mother who outlived a son, a wife who lost a loving husband and a daughter who was her fathers joy
I kept expecting to hear, “The King is dead. Long live the Queen.”
Crown season 1 & 2 is some of the greatest television produced.
This scene hits so much differently...dare I say more impactfully...with the score removed. Queen Mary's small gasps at 1:40 were lost on Netflix.
Poor Margaret, nobody told HER, or gave her any mind.
Yeah, he WAS her dad, king or not!
Heir and the spare... it's why Harry's in California.....
@@ellenchavez2043and with any luck he'll stay there.
@@madabbafan I was an unabashed Anglophile: followed the young Prince Charles; woke up at 3 am for the royal wedding, etc.
However, I found myself stifling chuckles at seeing Charles and Camilla in their royal regalia for the coronation. I felt like I was watching a Monty Python skit with old people.
So, Harry will find his way if he can think in terms of transferable skills. He stayed in the military and had more positions than his brother. He's got skills.
@@madabbafanYour loss.
It was a good thing that he died peacefully in his sleep. That way, his soul was able to transition without those around him screaming or crying....no interruptions. The most sacred thing about dying is the souls ability' to move on in a peaceful manner.
Your comment reminded me of the death of my brother in 2014. There had been been many people in the hospital room in the evening. That afternoon I'd told my brother when we were alone for a time that if he saw Jesus or our mother to go to them, that he didn't have stay, to let go. My brother's heart gradually slowed when he was alone(just periodic checks from the night nurses) and stopped at 3:30 in the morning. I think my brother needed the privacy and quiet so he could relax and let go of the world.
@@andrewbrendan1579 Thank you for sharing. How fortunate for him that you understood his need which allowed him to move on.
@@andrewbrendan1579 Actually, that part of your daily cycle is the most physiologically stressful on the body and therefore the most likely time for someone to die, but don't let scientific facts get in the way of your beliefs.
@@MyFiddlePlayer I'm not sure if you're encouraging me in my beliefs or being sarcastic or a bit of both after I shared an event that should be treated with respect regardless of one's beliefs, but you take your risks in a public forum. Either way, I find that science and Biblical belief complement and confirm one another if people on both sides are really honest. My first comment and then yours about the daily cycle and physiological stress actually go well together. Diarist Anais Nin once wrote, and I think is verbatim: "I have no fear of the truth". Nor do I. And you?
@@andrewbrendan1579Mic drop. Boom!
I like to imagine Queen E passed with similar heartbreak and frenzy which showed she was loved
I think there was a lot more crying and noises there... since family basically all run up there ... except for one...
My understanding is that Princess Anne was the one actually with her when she died, and that it was a quiet and peaceful passing.
i mean afterwards, people would be scrambling to carry out protocols, even though its year in the planning, its still quite a hubbub@@chooseyourpoison5105
There was a difference in that people around her and the family knew that Elizabeth II was passing. It was more planned for and expected. George VI's death was unexpected despite his poor health.
@@PrograErrorHarry wasn’t allowed to share the flight with his brother.
This is a longer version of this scene than I have seen elsewhere, and I like it better.
Pip Torrens brought such an element to this show , he absolutely elevated every scene he was in, they have never had another actor like him
"Has the Princess been notified?"
"If you mean the new Queen, the answer is no."
This must of been what i was like at Balmoral on September 8,2022 when QE2 Died
Only to an extent. The Queen was 96 and had been known to be gravely ill for some time, while if this is accurate the extent of George's illness (he was only 56) had been kept from his family. Plus with modern technology the Queen's relatives were able to be summoned to her bedside as she lay dying.
Not the same. It was known throughout the entire day of September 8 that the Queen was dying and her daughter Anne was there at her side when she finally passed. Plus she was 97 and in declining health, so it was not unexpected.
No it was different.
Balmoral staff knew the Queen was dying. No one expected George VI to die so quickly and while his heir was abroad.
Elizabeth II died in the late afternoon while George VI died in his sleep.
George VI died alone bc Elizabeth his wife slept in a separate bedroom as was customary back then. The Queen died with Charles and Anne by her side.
Um no, there were people with he when she died.
I feel Elizabeth II had this one much more carefully planned.
He was young his wife lived 50 years after his death
She wanted to outlive That Woman, Wallis Simpson
@@user-hx6ye4jq1n And she did, by just shy of 16 years.
Very touching and sad. I think all can relate to hearing the news our close loved one is gone.
Loved Jared Harris as the King.
As per the official account, the Queen Consort Elizabeth's initial reaction to her husband's overnight death was to say 'Lilibet must be told at once. THE QUEEN must be told at once!'
However, the new Queen Mother seemed to hold it together at that time. Though she'd later admit to a friend who said she'd held up 'remarkably well'. 'Only in public, my dear. In private, it's a very different story!'
Princess Margaret was the one member of the family in England known to have immediately collapsed into grief (and, evidently, her last words 50 years later at age 71 were 'Dear Papa!).
Queen Mary's immediate reaction wasn't recorded but her relative Prince Axel of Denmark saw her later that day and said she seemed a bit puzzled and resigned that her 2nd born son's passing was her '3rd son to die unexpectedly' [her youngest Prince John of Great Britain died after an epileptic seizure at age 13 in 1919, her 2nd youngest son George, Duke of Kent was killed in a plane crash at age 39 in 1942].
Prime Minister Churchill's depicted reaction seems actually less dramatic than the recorded one, in which he was told the news while having breakfast in bed while working on zillions of papers and forms strewn over the covers before getting up and getting dressed: He immediately swept ALL the food and papers off the bed saying that all that stuff was 'unimportant' compared to the King's death AND it was the worst news because the new monarch was 'a child' who he didn't know [neither was entirely true at the time - though he quickly changed his tune and became a very ardent early admirer]!
Victoria Hamilton is a superb crier! I love her
1:02 Legend has it the footman is still at the door holding the tray.
Superb acting - the anguish cuts my guts.....
Never liked the Queen Mother much, but when the actress who plays her starts wailing about George VI, I get emotional
Heavy smoker....passed away from lung cancer related..blood clot in the heart...one lung was removed by operation 2 month before. Smoking is deadly king or peasant.
Yes we all know smoking is bad but being churchills confessor during world War II king George knew things that none of us even knew dream about like the development of the atomic bomb the constant death and destruction for years in Britian from bomb raids he himself could of been killed the first monarch in over a century could of died if the Germans aim was a tad better and weren't panic bombing to save fuel. He was always nervous, but I think the one person maybe ever that can be forgiven for smoking their troubles away was King George VI and maybe even churchill.
It wasn't well known back then. Smoking was recommended for pregant women die to it reducing the babies size
all because his idiot physicians encouraged him that smoking calms the nerves, they were so wrong!
I like how the music starts out a lot later in this version. The version on US Netflix plays the over-sappy music way earlier. And it's so loud you can't hear what the butler whispered to the Queen Mother.
Why did you guys cut the music on this scene? It makes it that much more powerful.
One of the most impressive scenes i know, especially with the original soundtrack.
This is so emotional...
It's even better when you hear The Emotions Without the music, playing from the very beginning of the first season.
In reality, Queen Mary's Lady in Waiting told her what had happened.
It's particularly poignant because that lady in waiting had to inform her of the death of her father-in-law and 2 sons on different occasions.
Someone called her out of the room and let her go back in to tell Queen Mary privately.
Yes Cynthia Colville asked to see Queen Mary after breakfast and according to The Queen Mothers official biography she asked "Is it the King?"
"London Bridge has Fallen" rest in peace Queen Elizabeth II
Long live King Charles III
For same reason, having no music (Duck Shoot). Makes this scene more powerful !
The last true emperor.
I NEVEE cry at anything I see on tv ever. But this one truly got me.
Well now Elizabeth and pretty much all of his nuclear family members are with him now and i am sure whatever Elizabeth did, he would is so proud of her. We also thank you King George VI for aiding us in our own dark times, we carry your medal and spirit for our's nations(Malta's) bravery as your own people's bravery and sacrifice with proud colors. RIP to all of you.
We need a show about King George VI’s time as king.
Mary of Teck said this after George's passing, "I have lost three sons through death, but I have never been privileged to be there to say a last farewell to them."
Valet: "...Sir?"
King: "THERE'S GRAPHITE ON THE ROOF!"
Valet: "What?"
King: "What?"
interesting version posted here with no background music.
lots of unheard sounds drowned out by the music.
I love how the flag comes down. The sovereign is not residence. As the “new” queen was not there. It all happens with a last breath.
Why remove the music? It literally MADE this scene
When the lightning strikes just a little louder after Queen Mary is given the news 1:21
I cant think of a single Jared Harris character that doesn't die.
You removed the score and gave the scene a very raw feeling.
This happened to me once, fortunately I was revived and continued to rule for many decades.
0:51 Requiescat in pace Domini!
Amen.
Amen hallelujah
Its somehow strange to hear it without the Soundtrack
IF this is how it actually happened I'm glad it was a lot less chaotic for Queen Elizabeth
George VI may have been tormented by cancer pains until the end, but at least Big Media wasn’t there to make the doctors artificially prolong his life half a day longer just to make sure he dies in time for the MORNING newspapers to announce the news instead of the filthy EVENING newspaper editions. Like with George V 🤦🏻♂️
I'm sure that Elizabeth II was ready to go. She had had her Jubilee and she was at her beloved Balmoral. In the last photos taken of her, she obviously had lost quite a bit of weight since the Jubilee
@@user-hx6ye4jq1n Also she did not “fare well” after Prince Phillip predeceased her.
@@user-hx6ye4jq1n Even at the Jubilee she looked very frail
1:34 I believe this is the “Queen Mother” Elizabeth running after hearing the news of her husband’s death.
One fo the many things they got wrong: it was Buckingham palace who made the call Hyde Park Corner, not the PM.
Wow I love this movie ❤❤❤
Great scene...but it's missing the music. It makes it even more moving and dramatic.
What a privilege to be the very 1st staff to find out the death of the monarch
Yeah. This scene brings back some seriously traumatic memories for me... I was informed my uncle had passed.. my mother had been told first... then she informed all of us twenty minutes later. After she took a moment to mourn her brother. Needless to say, it was chaos.
What happened to the music that was supposed to be playing in this episode scene ???? Was it removed for copyright reasons ????
I still think of John Lithgow as primarily a comedian. He shouldn't have been able to play Churchill that beautifully.
The background score is missing .. that is what provided a deep emotion to the scene other than the acting of course
This sounds so different without the backing tracks on Netflix.
My father passed away in his sleep of renal failure on the morning of July 2nd, 2022.
So sad
Queen Mary...my heart always bleeds. To bury children. Blessed memory. Few remember the mothers of kings.
Is the soundtrack missing here? I love this scene so much, I think it's the best of the whole show, but it loses a lot of its impact without the original soundtrack.
Why did you remove the music?
why did you remove the soundtrack from the audio?
What is the name of the bagpipe piece being played?
Why is the music in this version cut out?
I remeber it well Primary school..all the teachers running around like headless chickens & us working class kids thinking , " What are they getting so excited about?" We were THAT FARV removed from their World.
Bro at the end looks like the trinity killer
2:38 , Churchill ?
Yes, he was Prime Minister again at this time.
Who is that funKILLER that removes the covering soundtrack ?
Splendid
Maybe this gives us an idea of the controlled chaos of when Queen Elizabeth died?
Where is the music?
Where's the background music?
King Geoger VI the official biography made in 1958 is a great book about life & death
He was a great king doing WWII.
I cried my eyes out watching this scene….king George was a great king not like the ones that are there today
