George VI symbolised the hardships, the achievements, the glorious hours of the backs-to-the-wall fighting in World War II and the new horizons of inventions and discovery he made available to his people. He was in every sense a gentle-man, whose simple humanity and devotion to duty earned him the deepest and most sincere respect and affection throughout the world. This volume is a fabulous pictorial record with almost 200 photos and camera studies of George VI's childhood, his time as the Duke of York, the funeral of George V, the Coronation, world tours, the war years, the then-Princess Elizabeth's wedding, State occasions and glimpses of intimate Royal lives together with extracts of his speeches. Includes a Tribute by the then-Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Winston Churchill.
