THE KINGS SPEECH .. looks like being a huge success

 

THE KINGS SPEECH George VI's very bad stammer - I cant help feeling sorry for him .....

 

trailer ....

Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen

"do you know any jokes" ... "timing isn't my strong suite"

notice how the Queen joins in to support him (well documented fact .. not just put in for effect)

and

out of interest ... both Churchill and George VI got on very, very well

"bloody good job too" I would say

 

 

 

 

George Vi was a good king

(couldn't say that about his elder brother Edward VIII)

- greatly supported by his wife - who you know as the Queen mum

 

The unexpected abdication of Edward VIII created an urgent need to prepare designs for stamps to be ready for the coronation of the new King and Queen

penny ha'penny for a stamp !!

(pronounced "hay-penny")

(less than 1 new penny in today's money)

current price for a first class stamp is

41 pence

 

thats a GREAT photo below !!!

A street party at Risinghill Street, Islington, London, to celebrate the coronation of George VI on 16 May 1937

to the right of the largest flag you can see many "pearly kings & queens"

 

 

 

 

I love the coloured photo - we had a wall just like that!

- I remember the brick at the end fell off
