I adore finding original true colour footage of our lovely King George VI ❤️
There is so little available that I am always surprised to see his tanned skin (from spending so much time outdoors!) and the brightness of his ribbon medals.
Check out the way he just eyeballs the camera for a split second. You better look sharp and behave! Bertie’s always watching you…

A stone slab engraved with the names of Queen Elizabeth II, her late husband Prince Philip, and her parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, has been installed at St George's Chapel in Windsor.
Personally I think they should bring back the tradition of the King’s Champion riding in full armor in to the coronation banquet to meet any potential challengers.
