The King's Speech

I haven't yet seen the Film "The King's Speech". It has had a good write-up in the papers. I hope it has brought out the fact that we all admired the way George VI coped with his difficulties. I remember the Queen (later to be Elizabeth the Queen Mother) when it was suggested during the war that the two princesses should be evacuated to Canada saying "They won't go without me and I won't go without the King and he is staying here, so we are all staying here." This meant a lot to those of us who had no option but to face the bombing.
