She was stunning. And had a lovely lovely wedding dress.

diedandgonetodevon · 01/06/2012 20:57

It is a lovely programme isn't it Crown

Chubfuddler · 01/06/2012 20:58

She looks so scared. Only 25.

SilentSinger · 01/06/2012 20:58

The footage is fascinating. The last bit on the plane back from Africa has just made my eyes leak a little bit.

Must have been devastating to lose your father and gain so much responsibility at the same time.

mummynoseynora · 01/06/2012 20:59

she looked frankly terrified... must be so scary for that to happen so young

BelieveInPink · 01/06/2012 20:59

See I've gone. Right at the end.

Kim, out of interest, would you say people in the army dump their children when they go on tour for 6 months? Or away for training etc.

Chubfuddler · 01/06/2012 21:01

There's a documentary on itv now.

WorrisomeHeart · 01/06/2012 21:01

And didn't she look so sad and alone in that footage from the flight back when her father had died? Heartbreaking.

iceandsliceplease · 01/06/2012 21:01

Sniffing quite hard and blinking a bit too much here now

mummynoseynora · 01/06/2012 21:01

thanks for the heads up chub!

Chubfuddler · 01/06/2012 21:02

More home movies. Lovely.

HRHEightiesChick · 01/06/2012 21:02

Quick, switch to ITV - more footage though not home vid now...

HMQueenElizabeth · 01/06/2012 21:03

I've switched over to itv now, much to DH's disgust!

WorrisomeHeart · 01/06/2012 21:03

Grr, bloody DH has vetoed the ITV show on account of 'being all queened out'. Off with his head!

Chubfuddler · 01/06/2012 21:04

Dh is out. Mind you makes no odds as he would be hanging on every word.

treefumaster · 01/06/2012 21:04

roundtable I don't think that's a fair comparison. She could have taken them with her - not an option open to anyone in the army. But I guess that was a different era and she has always been known for her devotion to duty and it seems as though her sense of duty sometimes gets in the way of the immediate emotional needs of her family.

Starshinetiger · 01/06/2012 21:04

Feeling ridiculously proud to be British at the mo - having a wonderful example of such a strong woman at the helm of our country, who has reigned through such a phenomenal period of change - I'm so looking forward to celebrating this weekend Smile

mummynoseynora · 01/06/2012 21:05

recording ITV for DD to watch some of tomorrow, she'll love it

FashionEaster · 01/06/2012 21:05

Am going to watch it on iPlayer later on. Caught the last 15 minutes and it was just lovely.

Chubfuddler · 01/06/2012 21:05

God eamon is short. Wills isn't that tall. Ive seen him in the flesh - six one maybe?

HMQueenElizabeth · 01/06/2012 21:06

Do you mean Alan Titschmarsh?

Chubfuddler · 01/06/2012 21:06

Is that who it is? Separated at birth clearly.

HMQueenElizabeth · 01/06/2012 21:07

Nope not even similar Wink... Surely the accent is the biggest giveaway.
