  • I love this late King. Okay, he was a terrible husband, but a great monarch. He understood the meaning of pomp and circumstance and re-invented the trooping of the colours as well as the state opening of Parliament. He was so popular that he became the first King to lie in state.

  • I always enjoy watching your videos...they are not just interesting to look at they are informative too. Great work.
