Queen Mother, The - A Celebration Of Her Life - 1900-2002 : short review
When Her Majesty the Queen Mother died peacefully in her sleep aged 101, the nation lost one of its best-loved royals. Through out her extraordinary life spanning the whole of the 20th century, the Queen Mother had a remarkable ability to reach ordinary people. Her life was one of duty, serving the nation. Although her great age and ill health had left her frail in the latter years, she tirelessly continued her public duties, determined not to disappoint her people. Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, as she was then known, grew up in a Scottish castle in all the pomp and circumstance of the Victorian era. Her marriage to Bertie, the Duke of York produced her much loved daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret Rose. When Bertie's brother Edward, the Prince of Wales abdicated in 1936 to marry an American divorcee, it was Elizabeth's strength and support that turned her shy, unprepared husband into a King. After World War II broke out, Queen Elizabeth's morale boosting visits to bombed-out parts of Britain helped to turn the tide of war and establish her place firmly in the hearts of the nation. Peacetime brought more changes when her husband King George VI died and her daughter Elizabeth became the new Queen. Tragedy has struck at the heart of the family from Princess Diana's death to the death of her daughter, Princess Margaret which came as a grievous and heartfelt blow in her last days.
