This is wonderful video, first as it shows HM as a young person, but second and more important as a glimpse of the generation of our parents and grand parents. The film is strangely more interesting than the news coverage of the current Royal Family.

Cheers from a colonial

without the help of the former colonies we would have been in deep s**t...bring back the Commenwealth...NZ Lamb and Butter...couldnt be beat in my opinion...have recently aquired a taste for Austrailian wine....and my young son likes Maple syrup on his pancakes....so in our own little way were keeping it all in the family!best regards malcolm

You may have heard Her Mum's reaction when Buckingham Palace was hit by a bomb: "Well thank God for that! Now I can look the East End in the face!" and once when Her Dad was being shown around a bombed area in Cheapside someone in the crowd was heard to say "Thank God for a good King!" and he immediately turned to the man and replied "Well, thank God for a good People!"

Sods these days are only interested in the empty half of the glass....
