Rest well, dear King, your daughter has made you proud
Well spoken.
I read a quote attributed to him where he said that when he looked at his daughter Elizabeth, he could see Victoria. He was quoted as saying that they didn't need a man, Elizabeth was capable of reigning.
In other words, he always believed she would make him proud.
So true
He was not born with the expectation of inheriting the crown and he did not want it. All he wanted was the quiet life of an English country gentleman. But when duty summoned him, he did not shrink from his responsibility to his country and people even during the years of mortal danger to Britain. A truly great King. Memory eternal!
That's because his Brother abdicated
It's called Great Britain 🌹
@@giannimolluso5846 Yes I think he/she would know that.
All we Irish wanted was freedom and enough to eat

Interesting to see how it was about 70 years ago. Queen Elizabeth's funeral was absolutely beautiful and dignified.
"...Queen _Elizabeth_ ..." THAT funeral was not even recorded ~ 😐
Ok
@@bonghunezhou5051you know they mean the Second Queen Elizabeth, right? Cuz duh Queen Elizabeth I (not the Queen mother)’s funeral was when they didn’t have cameras.
My mother and father were living in London at this time . The nation knew the king was ill , his death was still a a great sadness to the world . As the commentator says , sixteen years in which the world changed and suffered as never before . And the duty of a man who was never expecting to be king was unwavering. He set a standard.
I am an American, but join the rest of the world mourning the loss of Queen Elizabeth II. I was only 10 days old when King George passed. In a way, I consider it to be a blessing that I lived for the entire reign of QEII.
How old are you now😂!
Heart felt sympathy to the people of Great Britain and the commonwealth. She was a great lady and will be missed by the world. Our prayers are with King Charles lll as he steps into his roll.
Wow that's pretty amazing! I pray you stay healthy and happy for many years to come.
@@woodersonjeanmary323 well if you know how long Queen Elizabeth II was Queen then that’s your answer.
@@woodersonjeanmary323 Cheeky...🤔
The queens funeral almost totally replicated her father's and now after a 70 year reign they are together again ❤
you're right
@Kahel Diamante 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They use motor cars now instead of horse drawn carriages.
@@seansmith445 the Queen was most of the service on the same gun carriage as her father all those years ago
@Kahel Diamante😅😅😅
His majesty King George Vl was not just a fine King but a true man.
Even though he is reluctant he faced them all with strength and humility. Indeed a true man.

You boy George coin 1944 content me 7528050285
A true man indeed why do I feel so British watching this
If anyone is interested - the initial music is the Marche Funebre by Chopin and second piece of music is the Funeral March from G F Handel’s oratorio Saul - HWV63.
It is a pity that his mother, Queen Mary, was too frail to accompany the three ladies.
Thank you for telling me this. I thought it was Chopin.
It is the 'Dead March' from Handel's oratorio 'Saul'. It was played during the funeral procession for Admiral Lord Nelson in January, 1806 as his coffin was borne to St. Paul's Cathedral.
I thought also it was Chopin funeral march
Miarana Razaf Yes, both were played.
Nope not interested
I just watched the funeral of the Queen... Can't imagine this will happen after 70years... She really was great... 🙏
And 70 years later, next Monday, his daughter will be afforded the same splendid ceremonials, only this time in full HD colour. Such a significant moment in history.
George VI was every inch a King, both in appearance and deed.
He was a man of great courage.
He was painfully shy, with a crippling stammer, yet he was one of the greatest Kings Britain has known.
Agreed.
SylviasDaddy: "yet he was one of the greatest Kings Britain has known." A little hyperbole, don't you think?
@@jstrahan2
He played a vital (albeit supporting) role in navigating the British Empire through WWII in reliance only on the soft powers accorded to modern British kings (and Queens) regnant. It will be impossible to assess whether the original comment was hyperbolic until several hundred years have elapsed, but the comment is not even slightly implausible.
@@paulinbrooklyn : It's not only slightly, it's greatly implausible.
"Definition of hyperbole: extravagant exaggeration (such as "mile-high ice-cream cones")"
A quite accurate evaluation of the original comment.
Here here. Amazing man with the heart of a lion. I hope our dear Queen is having a catch up with him as we type 🥺💜
So amazing to think that this was the last funeral of one who wore the crown. 70 years ago. And only now has Elizabeth II left us.
And here we are, in a little over 16 hours from now, her Majesty will be laid to rest in the memorial chapel named for her father, joining her father, mother, the ashes of her sister and her husband, whose remains will be transfered from the royal vault for the final interment
@@Limegreenedragon so where do they take them, after the Royal vault??
@@justmissjamey the King George Vi Memorial Chapel
Extraordinary to think we managed to go 70 years without a monarch's funeral and who could have even begun to guess what lay in store in 1952. A little irony in that the King went to Paddington on his final journey. 70 years later, Paddington went to see his daughter in her final year.
@@anthonycraig1458 I know that the people who playedpp89p00^8 9 want 7 u jujuplayed played played with with their their own goals are 90
With his daughter passing away, a great era ends - an era where the sovereign held duty first, family second and emotions weren't discussed.
Especially via the media and to seemingly make capital.
Feelings were definitely discussed, you just didn't have the readily available media access like today and the by the time the paper reached ur hands, they were already filtered out. Remember the guy just prior avoided duty like it's the plague.
@@TelpPov, I'm referring not only to the royal family, but the whole population. No decent Victorian or edwardian man would discuss his "feelings," it simply wasn't done.
Pity it’s not still like that. Very few of us still adhere to the English ‘stiff upper lip’.
@@borleyboo5613 Hear, hear.
My parents were in London when King George VI died. They told me that people stopped them in the streets to tell them and that those people they were crying. He had made such a strong impact on the British people by his service during WWII.
Sweet
He was loved because he knew Britain was in for the fight of their lives, and he and his wife, the Queen Mother, Elizabeth, and Margaret stayed to help with the war effort. No doubt the stresses of it shortened his life, paving the way for Elizabeth to ascend at 26. Now she has joined her parents, sister, Diana, and husband in heaven. RIP QUEEN ELIZABETH II, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO BRITAIN!!!
R.I.P Good King George. Brilliant father and monarch, very rare. Took on his shoulders what should have never been his. Forever indebted to you, your Majesty.
He’s not reading this mate, he’s dead
I grew up in Malta, he came in wartime and gave our country the George Cross. We Maltese will never forget this lovely man.
Interesting note - Princess Margaret’s funeral was held on the 50th anniversary of her father’s.
I seem to remember that being mentioned .
I believe her ashes are interned in the royal vault along side her father at st georges chapel windsor
@@wendygraham6863 Not only her ashes but her bones too.
@@anacletwilliams8315 she was cremated
@@krucheveltchristie1878 Oh dear, was she? How very unorthodox!
As an American, I get disheartened by our wasteful and shortsighted ways here in the States. I so admire and deeply appreciate the immense care the British take in passing on and preserving such intricate and time-honored traditions. The Queen's funeral today was just beautiful. My breath was often taken away. R.I.P. to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II 👑💜
Yes, even I am thankful that my country was colonized by Great Britain. The light of Christianity enlightened our forefathers. We became part of the English speaking world. So many advantages until our independence. Long live the King and God bless the United Kingdom.
royalty survives thanks to taxpayers, they should already work like a normal person, outside privileges that are useless.
Oh yes and while there is so much poverty the Royals live off the tax payers. Yes a lot of them have their own properties and farms but the tax payers pay for everything that happens in the palace, castle including the clothes they wear. It’s a time that was honouring traditions but now times have changed and so should the monarchy.
Many of my ancestors died in the Revolutionary War to forsake an hereditary monarchy. Queen Elizabeth was an outstanding person, let’s see how King Charles does to preserve the monarchy.
@@kylieknight2365 they live off the money thier owns castles and farms makes
Impressive. As an American, I am still a student of British history, and have been impressed that this man, never expecting to be king, did such an outstanding job of fulfilling his duties to his country and people. His daughter has done the same. Wish some of the other British royals had learned more from these two.
Hello Cynthia
My wifes Uncle George was one of the soldiers who carried the coffin.
Woah!
Wow really impressed
I want to meet him
Wow🙌🏽
That was no small feat! And they had to move it several times as well.
You now have your whole family back king George your daughter has been laid to rest. She was a great kind loving beautiful hard working Queen and you should be so proud of what she has done for the world not just the UK. May you all rest in peace now
No body does these things better than the British, be it a happy or a sad day they get it right every time
Nobody draws maps and borders better than the Brits too...
@@mehornyasfk It’s called power.
💯 true ❤️
@@mehornyasfk chips and curry please
Not too many have an ancient Monarchy like the Brits !
We will witness his daughter's funeral, Queen Elizabeth on Sept 19, 2022, 70 years later.
Update: the whole funeral ceremony was so grand for our beloved Queen Elizabeth.
The stress of the war really took him down. But he was a good monarch. Queen Elizabeth has diligently followed in his footsteps. The King and Winston Churchill were a matchless duo.
mercy triumps It was the Bensons and Hedges silk cut cigarettes that took Bertie down ! King was a heavy smoker , died from lung cancer ; Smoking risks were unknown then 80% of Brits smoked !
Lou McConnell
He was a chain smoker
Some were recomended by doctors to smoke!
His wife was what made him. She was the perfect Queen for him, given what he had to reign over.
I was a kid in the 60’s (& 70’s). I can recall my doctor smoked - even in the office. He’d prepare a shot (probably a vaccine). Take a puff, then set the lit cigarette down, give the shot & pick his cigarette back up to smoke it. He didn’t miss a beat. True story!
Today no doctor in their right mind would smoke in the office in front of a patient. Particularly a little kid.
Different times.....no gobshites in tracksuits with rings in their noses.....everything looked cleaner too....no litter.....people had a sense of decorum and respect.......
Like watching Harry Enfield's black and white mock short-films that evoke the same era showing "Britain of Tomorrow" with the exceedingly polite tweed and bowler-bedecked English football fans giving the losing Scots a polite word of good luck. Or "The Minefield of Caddishness" short film.
Soon to be joined by his much loved daughter. R.I.P Queen Elizabeth. You will be sorely missed.
II was aged 18 and well remember standing in Hyde Park to watch this. It was very moving, the crowd in total silence, a very cold day….a much loved King.
You're 88?
Are you still around
@@mainapeter1082 No. Obviously I’m dead.
LOL
Probably the best King in british history and for sure the best head of state of his time
@@Cjnw Churchill was head of government.
@@Cjnw Churchill was a Primeminister not King.
As much as George did not want the crown, he was the epitome of elegance, class, and knowledge of responsibility to his beloved country. Both he, and the Queen Mother, were amazing examples of loyalty, and royalty; seeing how she insisted on staying in England during the war, spoke volumes of her love and dedication to her family and her country.
These are the real reasons that Edward was never to sit as King, he lacked the expectations and the responsibility to the people. He fell far, far below the standards of loyalty and dedication.
As for Queen Elizabeth II? Exquisite! Long live the Queen! 💐👸🏼
Toni Teddy was a playboy , he never wanted to be King ; Just wanted to play golf on the Riviera and shag Mrs Whats her name !
@@loumcconnell503 the playboy was also a admirer of nazism.
@@katerinakemp5701 As were many other prominent people and most folk in the U.S.A. .
Do you think there are similarities between Edward and Harry?
@@hollydenman2929 : Good question, but I do not believe they are anywhere near each other. Edward was a spoiled dandy, whereas Harry is the result of having had his mother horribly taken away, at such a young/vulnerable age, then saddled with an emotionally distant father who was left to raise him, with enough anger in him after witnessing what his fathers betrayal of his mother, did to her.
It seems that rather than Harry and Edward be alike, both Wallis and Meghan seem to have been cut from the same cloth; both women used their “talent” to capture their target.
Superb precision by the Military. And the sound of the bagpipes is beautiful.
And now, we witness his daughter's funeral procession. A rare and very precious jewel.
Loved the bagpipes! Thinking I must have some Scottish in me.☺️
@@awishinandahopin7232 Deffo. My dad was a piper. 🤣
A true man of honor and a man who put others above himself. He was a real King.
A brave man who overcame his speech impediment to lead his nation and the empire through war. A loving father who nurtured his daughter to reign after him with an unswerving duty for now 68 years. A loyal husband who mutually adored his wife, the Queen Mother unlike his failure grandson who will sadly follow him, but never equal him. Someone who stepped up to the crease, batted for mankind, freedom and duty. He rests in peace with the love of the Commonwealth.
Well said.
Well said. The film, The King's Speech(2010) aptly summarizes at least a part(1925-1939)of this history.
Very few leaders in the world of today like Him.
Give Charles a chance...but I don't know.
Isn't it said that they encouraged smoking at this time to soothe the nerves.
He was a good man, and a great and very well-loved King.
The Queen sent away her father in the same spot as she sent away her husband 69 years later. What an amazing journey of life!
The surrounding area is exactly the same as I recall from last Saturday's funeral for Prince Philip.
Amen. - and now today, the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. (Or yesterday, I'm behind time in California, America.)
Good film. I was 6 at the time and have no memory of this at all, but the following year, Coronation year, I can remember that as if it were yesterday. All one can say, thank goodness he was King during the Second World War and not his Nazi loving brother King Edward VIII.
Hindsight is a marvellous thing. It allows those that wish to, the ability to criticise even monarchs (former and then current) who could not possibly see what we now know. In this case, the man you criticised, a former Sovereign, like the balance of humanity alive at that time, could not have possibly imagined or realised what was to come. He was simply acting as a British envoy of peace and co-operation I believe, and would have solidly been acting in the interests of Britain and the Commonwealth at the time, and not that of Germany. Remember, at that time, a lot of people in Britain and elsewhere were actually inspired by the ‘New German Order’ displayed until the horrors of later years came to pass. No person alive at the time had any conception of that unlike yourself with the power of historical knowledge.
In Mauritius the first time in Mauritius Muslim community and the first time in Mauritius pm on the first time in Mauritius Muslim community and the first time in Mauritius pm on the first time in Mauritius pm and the alamiacolege
@@OrnumCR
The point you make about the power of hindsight is true. However, one did not need to know what WWII would entail to know that David would be a disaster of a king as his own father predicted a shit show within a year of David being crowned (with his abdication beating that forecast by several months).
Although Ed VIII was allowed in procession to follow in uniform.
RIP King George Vl he was a true king
Amazing that the Duke of Kent ( the queen's cousin) is walking behind the king's carriage at the age of sixteen, and was also at the Queen's funeral on Monday, he is on the right with the taller hat on !
Incredible to watch the funeral of his impeccable daughter today. Echoing these events.
She was a magnificent constitutional monarch.
Duty. Integrity. Honour.
Bless you Elizabeth.
He will eventually be known not as a good King, but a Great King! He and the Queen literally stood by their people when they were threatened by destruction and refused to surrender at all cost. He was a Great King!
I can remember being at school on the day of the King`s funeral. We were all assembled in the school hall early in the afternoon and the Head gave a short sombre talk, then at 2pm (I think) we heard loud guns being fired and I remember a woman teacher was quietly sobbing.

I hope you got to learn about their thieving escapades and how they brutally murdered millions of people during their colonial reign. You won’t regret it .
Impressive how much tradition and protocol remain the same from 70 years ago, despite a very changed world.
God bless King George, rest in peace.
Seventy years ago: "Royalty are no longer remote. Films and radio now bring kings and queens into our daily lives".
A very great king, steadfast, courages, the best for us in time of need..Thank God for King George VI, GOD SAVE THE KING.
Inf
He was born with a knock kneed and a speech impediment in which his own father and brother ridiculed him for. And despite that became a great king that saw Great Britain through World War Two. Rest in peace.
Yes indeed to all you've said. Sir Winston Churchill said it all in the wreath he sent, For Valour.

God Save the King!
what a magnificence, exactly the same marvelous magnificence for the queen yesterday!
I was a young boy when watching the funeral. The coffin being carried up the steps into the chapel was a memory I never forgot. When Her Majesty’s coffin was borne up those same steps, it instantly brought it back!!
I admit the tears were flowing at The Queen’s funeral.
The King as a Constitutional monarch did precisely what was needed when faced by war. He understood the nature of the Hitler threat, and why it was important to face it, and not trust Hitler any more. And he supported those who argued against suŕrender. And ultimately he posed the problem for the, defeatist, appeasement lobby, that they would have to go ahead in the knowledge that the King did not support them, and the people would know this. He then gave the country what it needed in the war- encouragement , hope , and the example of staying on and sharing the risk.
He, and his father, also both passed on to his daughter what they believed the monarch should and should not do, which with some changes to reflect changing times, is reflected in how she saw her role, how she performed her duties , and how she responded herself in talking to the nation at difficult times, when it again needed a solid steadying voice.
A hard , unexpected, unwanted, job- bravely and well done.
Unlike Edward who crawled off and met Hitler with his hussie in secret in 1937. No limit to how classless the man was.
Think it is 70 years Ago.and it is still Beautiful to look at...the English are the Best..Susie denmark
A brave and courageous man that did not flee from duty and from the deadly dangers of a possible nazi invasion of Britain. Unfortunately, his health suffered from the harsh toil that was demanded upon him. I wish there were many more men and Kings like him.
He's a good king that promoted charity and sport along with so much more of the admiralty.
Very sad, may he forever rest in peace, The King has died, long live the Queen and at 93 Queen Elizabeth II has served our country beyond all expectations and therefore will a very hard act to follow and the present Prince Charles will have he’s work cut out in what is a very changing world, I don’t even want to think what the world will be like when Prince William becomes King, I’ll be long gone as I’m already 67. 🇬🇧

Wow this looks almost identical to the Queen's Funeral , amazing video to see !
Other way around. This came first. Also monarchy traditions rarely change, if at all.
A grand tribute to a great wartime King !
My mother, born 1920, and my grandmother, born 1900, revered him.
Hello Irene
I was 5 at the time, and I remember seeing it on television. I mostly recall the slow march.
Im here in this time of HRH HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH DIED... British tradtion is so touching and overwhelming..still carried out the ceremonies from here in this funeral of the late king George until now the Queen's funeral❤❤❤
Hello Grace
Opening with the mournful strains of Chopin's "Funeral March," the black and white footage from 1952 perfectly captured the foreboding tenor of the times: the rising specter of nuclear confrontation and geopolitical dynamics.
May His Majesty Rest in Peace. ❤️
I'm glad this appeared in my feed today after watching the video from London.
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this 👍
What a lot of people don't realize today is that that gloomy "fog" you see isn't actually fog. It's smog. The entire city was covered in that black soot due to coal pollution. Big change from then to now.
Ira Gershwin should have changed “A Foggy Day” to “A Smoggy Day”. 😉
I thought it was fog or light drizzle. The newsreel narrator called it a perfect winter day.
Later in December of that year there was the ‘Great Smog of London’ where thousands died due to the pollution and windless conditions.
Very good film of a funeral of a King who went through WW2 and who refused to flee to Canada, preferred to stay in London with his family who also stayed with him. A very brave King.
I wonder what will the Queen's funeral will be like once she will be gone in the future. I don't think it will not be the same as her father's but I guess she will be buried same place as her parents.
The ceremonial will be much the same, unless HM says otherwise in her will.
this is pretty detailed on what is thought will happen once she passes . www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/mar/16/what-happens-when-queen-elizabeth-dies-london-bridge
I think so yes it will buried the same place
You will soon find out
It will be much the same, hopefully as dignified. Apart from the Police waddling about in bright yellow semi-inflated balloons.
Mourning a great king. May he Rest In Peace! ❤️. Think of the throng of mourners there will be (many years from now) for QE2. ❤️❤️❤️
Blimey, this makes me feel OLD! ... It was just 10 years before I was born!
Here, Queen Elizabeth II's reign was just beginning ... and now, 70 years later, it has drawn to a close.
Rest In Peace, Your Majesty! ... "God Save The (New) King!"
EDIT: You'd have thought they'd have splashed-out on some COLOUR FILM?
And this King's darling daughter turned out to be one of the Greatest Monarchs in History 🙏🙏🙏❣❣❣
Thanks for sharing.
So, this is a man who pretty much died for his country. Had he not been king he certainly would not have been chain-smoking his lungs away during WW2. And with his stuttering, he could've been the one to say "Unh unhhh, not today! I'll give the thrown to my brother the Duke of Gloucester". But noooo, he just lit 'em up and kept moving, like a boss. I wonder what he would think of Harry and Andrew....Of all the British monarchs, I respect this man the most.
Sad to see our majesty QE 11 funeral today, shes off to be buried with her dad mum sister and philip, God bless you all, you are truly missed xx
Truly incredible....!
Watching this so soon after our Queens funeral has made me realise that 70 years is no time at all.
I am an imperialist and it makes me really sad that now there are few people who are like his majesty King George the sixth.
God save the Queen.
I was 18 yrs old and remember the funeral and especially the cranes along the Thames. Also admired the military men carrying the weight of coffin up and down the steps of St Paul’s. He was a man who did not want the responsibility of Prime Minister but accepted it and led England thru the war.
You do realise this is the King's funeral... he wasn't a Prime Minister...
Prime Minister? What have you been taking?
I think you are remembering the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965 as the details you cite all match with that and not with the King's funeral.
On the point about the responsibility, Churchill most certainly did want the responsibility, unlike the King.
Tomorrow his daughters sad.
May you Rest In Peace, your Majesty.
Those were Kings that really rule. They knew how difficult it would be but they ruled. They were real men. Even their wives stood beside them and gave them every thing. The British monarchs never left their homeland during the war but stayed with the people they loved until the war ended. Look at what is happening today at Buckingham Palace, they are more like celebrities no way near to the life and conduct that is expected of them.
Only Her Majesty the Queen truly takes her Royal duties seriously. It is sad that the monarchy is being degraded to something that stands equal with mere celebrities and moviestars.
@@dietrichrosiers8184 why are you having such opinions? Prince Edward and his wife are doing a wonderful job, princess royal undeniably devoted and hardworking, William and Kate being exemplary. It is a new time, way more different than the one George the 6th ruled. But i really like the fantastic 5. Even King Charles III, we got to know him better. Andrew and Harry are the problems every family has.

@@freespiritable I was in the wrong two years ago. Truly, the British Royal Family is doing quite well right now. But the Swedish monarchy, for example, is nothing more than a celebrity union.

He may have died too soon,but he gave us all a priceless gift. His Dear Daughter Elizabeth, our Queen.what a wonderful woman she became.Give thanks for this life,more precious than all the gold in the world.
Poor old Bertie. He had to be king over so much trial. Thaks be to God he had a wonderful wife. He reigned but she ruled
His grandfather Edward VII's real name is Bertie too.
@@DavBlc7 Bertie was Edward VII's nickname. Full name was Albert Edward.
George VI's full name: Albert Frederick Arthur George. Bit of trivia: his maternal grandmother (The Duchess of Teck) didn't like "Albert" and hoped it would be supplanted by "George".
@@gidzmobug2323 Well, Queen Victoria wrote a diary, she wrote. "My beloved Bertie" and in the 1970s TV series "Edward VIi" she called out to him in her death bed, "Bertie". Hmmm... Queen Victoria call her son Bertie.
@@DavBlc7 There were nicknames for all the children and grandchildren.
@@DavBlc7 His nickname was Bertie. As was King George VI nickname. Their first names were "Albert".
I remember our kings funeral and now he is with his family again this shows us how we used to be great Britain sadly no more
I hope when the time comes that our beloved Queen Elizabeth II has at least as grand a send off as this...in fact I believe more so, especially as she's been on the throne almost 70 years (as of writing this), and with today's technology beamed live worldwide, it will be the saddest day for us since her mother and Diana passed
It will be very grand
Also a lot more so than the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral, as that was understandably so low key for a royal funeral, that for me made it more sad an occasion...RIP Your Highness

Please let me know names of the song at the end of this film reel. Thank you.
I was 10 when he died, and heard of his death on the Radio,as I was getting ready for school, Feb 1952. I told my Teacher, who hadn't heard, and didn't belive me, until he checked with other teacher's.
King George seemed like he could of been a lovely and kind man.
More than could - he was on both counts.
You mean “could have been”
He was.
An unpleasant and mean spirited comment ! Worse still an untruth !
It was said that he had a temper, but that it was due to his frustration with his speech difficulties. All the photos and newsreels show a man devoted to his wife and children. And he was so brave and stalwart during WW2. He stayed and kept the populace calm and determined during the war. RIP Bertie.
08:57 a real funeral without smartphones
70 years hence, it is alas daughter Elizabeth's turn.
Filmed in black and white in 1952, to 2022 broadcast live world-wide in real time into people's pockets in 4K colo[u]r.
Definitely lot has chanced in fairly short time.
Can't wait to watch this in color and HD a few years from now.
Dwight Eisenhower hopefully not for another few years yet. The Queens funeral will be at Westminster Abbey though she will be carried on a gun carriage from the Abbey to Marble Arch in a similar way that her father was.
MrAeronuk1 no according to the Guardian she will be driven in a hearse from Marble Arch to Windsor. I don’t think they use the Royal Train like they used to.
The guardian article is called operation London Bridge and it was written back in 2017 shortly after Prince Philip retired
MrAeronuk1 good question, so the crowds in London can see her one last time. Traditionally from Queen Victoria to George VI, the monarch has always had their state funeral at Windsor after lying in state at Westminster (with the exception of Victoria who didn’t lie in state, also Edward VIII had a private funeral as he had abdicated)
Trouble is when she dies it will probably be 70 years since her father’s funeral and the world has changed a lot since then. They can’t have the funeral at Windsor because one presumes all the world’s media wouldn’t fit in compared to 1952. Also considering she is the longest reigning monarch (and a record that will probably never be broken again) the Abbey pays tribute to that fact.
The Queen Mother was taken by hearse in 2002 because she was simply a former queen consort rather than sovereign. Queen Mary was taken by hearse to Windsor in 1953 in the same way.
So as the Queen is the sovereign she will be carried through London in the same way her predecessors were.
@@123brownjames HM's parents and sibling are buried at Windsor. As I recall, there is a space near them where HM and Prince Philip will be buried.
I watched something like this the other day, but it was in colour and HD.
King George sounded like he was a wonderful man as well as King. May he ever rest in peace. Condolences from The United States.
No, Ma'am! He was a tyrant and brutal king. During his reign and World War ll, he created a famine in Bengal confiscating all the godowns of food across the country to feed his armies to fight the war. And the wholesalers, retailers (grocery shopkeepers) increased the price of it (food) like rice, potatoes everything. Only the government employees, politicians, businessmen and riches survived. Many were impoverished and many were perished by malnutrition, starvation and other diseases. About 3.8 Million died.
