George VI was indeed a remarkable King.
The king even looks unwell in 1950 with a thinner face. Tobacco is a curse as the king was a smoker. The Australian voice coach did a great job helping the king with his stutter. Great historical news film. 0:45 the Commonwealth help with important items for the parliament.
Most moving speech by his late majesty
Very moving indeed.
“Of faith in freedom of our confidence in the permanence of our common ideas” _ King George VI.

Who are these folk that dictate HOW the King or Queen should do what they do? They are the same as in Egypt. They killed Tutankhamen. Always with a wonderful salary. Unquestioned.
No multiculturalism then
THE GERMAN DICTATOR ADOLF HITLER NOT ONLY WANTED TO SUBJECT ENGLAND TO GIVE IN UNCONDITIONALLY BUT ALSO SURRENDER POINTBLANK.BOMBING OF PUBLIC INSRITUTIONS LIKE BRITISH PARLIAMENT WAS ONE OF THE INDICATORS. THE INDOMITABLE SPIRIT OF BRITISHERS SAW THEM THROUGH. THEIR STUDIED AND STUDIOUS RELIANCW ON TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS ADD CHARM TO THEIR EXISTENCE..AND PERHAPS DESERVEINGLY SO .THANKS VERY MUCH.
