HM King George VI - The D-Day Speech - 6 June 1944

[@lenwilkinson672]

I am 93 years now,and I have been looking at the posts on here.I have tears reading the really lovely posts of the Kings broadcast.There are still many good Men and women in what is left of our once great country.

[@fasterpussycatkillkill9650]

You must have some incredible memories and stories from the war. I wish we could be pen pals so I could hear them.

[@theskycavedin]

We will fight the good fight and keep the memory alive

[@ronniebishop2496]

Like Sir Winston Churchill said, we shall never surrender!

[@scottmorley3672]

Indeed. God save the King.

[@peterisaacs1344]

He struggled so much to overcome this impediment. He didn't want the job but became one of the great monarchs and was genuinely loved.

[@stephanieredden8861]

Way better than his older brother would have been.

[@ilovebeinagirl]

The fact that he didn't want to do the job, thought he COULDN'T do the job, did it anyway and did EVERYTHING in his power to do the best that he could is why he was a great monarch. And you would've thought no one could top THAT performance and then his daughter said: "hold my beer, I got this. I'll take it over for another 70 years and do a great job too."

King George 6th was one of the best men who ever lived. R.I.P the king

[@moboutmen]

God Rest the King. Amazing man, to conquer his oratory limitations while carrying the weight of an Empire on his shoulders. The war aged him prematurely, and flat out killed FDR.

[@TheGlitzieGirl1]

Thank you - my parents escaped Nazi Germany and were taken in by the British in Rhodesia, and the world service was part of our daily lives

[@RomanStyran]

My pleasure.

[@NostalgicChannel]

My favourite King. We need leaders as him and Mr Churchill. May rest in peace. Thank you for share with us!

[@anenglishmanplusamerican7107]

May his majesty rest in peace.

Britain's best ever monarch. Such a brave and inspirational figure. R.I.P. King George VI

[@alexandradane3672]

He really really was . If only the Queen had been capable of such inspiration and devoted interest in the people of this country .

[@johntomlinson6849]

My Lord God, give King George VI, the Queen Mum, Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret good rest

[@charlottebruce8796]

You can hear him being helped by Logie here with his pauses, etc. He came along way to overcome his stammer.

[@timothywilliams1359]

I am American and not terribly enamored with monarchy. But if we could have a monarch like King George VI, I would swear allegiance to him before anyone in recent American politics, that is for sure. What a great and inspiring historical figure he was!

[@bobthebuilder4660]

Listening in 2019 your majesty!

[@billk8579]

Hero…one who overcomes fear to complete the task. George VI remained in London and routinely rallied those bombed the night before. The world needs more like him.

[@moboutmen]

As The Queen said, when asked about leaving London....."The children shall not leave without me. I shall not leave without the King. And the King shall NEVER leave!" Epic respect for these people.

[@jacquelinejackson4067]

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to hear this. I was not alive during this time.

[@lenwilkinson672]

I remember this speech as a young. lad of 15 years.I thought this man was a truly good and honourable King.there are none today that can match him.

[@HGMyers-yt2fr]

Seventy-five years ago this minute, His Majesty spoke to his Empire. It's somewhat chilling to listen to it at the exact chronological moment he broadcast.

[@1812AndMore]

"Whereby we can fortify determination of our sailors, soldiers and airmen who go forth to set the captives free." That line can apply to today's world as well.

[@juliepeters3716]

Oh God! How I wish we had leaders of this calibre today. Look at the state of us!

[@ashbytimuk]

Thank you so much for putting this up. I cannot find it anywhere else online and I am very grateful to you.

[@RomanStyran]

Thank you for your kind comment. Delighted to be of any use )

[@ISIO-George]

It is frequently said that Churchill was the right man for the time of need to be prime minister. Overlooked is that fact KGVI was teh right man to be king at the time as well. Not surprising QEII adored her father.

[@robertarichardson4927]

Thank you for creating and posting this bit of history. So poignant for today, the 70th anniversary of D Day.

[@RomanStyran]

Thank you. Delighted you like it.

[@michaelewing1435]

At this time, we now need a leader such as this great person to model and guide our steps forward

[@chuckfranson7565]

You've got one; his beloved daughter. A very sensible person. Let. Her. Be. A Real Queen!

[@simonmill6852]

King George the IV was the best monarch that Britain ever had. I'm a part Maori New Zealander myself and I think he was very brave. I'm proud of him.

[@gelraldoldo5152]

Not trying to be a dick but what did he do that was so brave, its not like he had to storm the beaches of France like your average jo.

[@adamgemmell4SURE]

Hahahaha.....not even close,I see History is not your thing WHAT SO EVER m8,let bakers bake pal.Had to comment on such a ridiculous and outrageous statement sorry but i had to....peace.

[@placeholder8768]

Gelrald Oldo his bravery was that he could conquer his stutter, which horribly ruined his ability to talk and make speeches, which for a king is a big obstacle, but he conquered it and became a major figurehead for British morale, almost even as great as Churchill.

[@damonz83]

Simon Mill George the IV or George the VI ?

[@chuckfranson7565]

Pesky tangled fingers, I'm sure.

[@ronniebishop2496]

I saw the movie about this, the Kings Speech.

[@kennethng275]

Thankyou so much for posting this important clip!

[@RomanStyran]

Entirely my pleasure.

[@1812AndMore]

I enjoy very much finding old recordings of messages from British Royals and listening to them fully. If only the leaders of nations today could give such speeches with as much feeling as those made in the past.

[@westpointsnell4167]

1812AndMore what about 1812and more?

For the Flag for the Monarchy for our own green lands we shall heed the call to serve her, our Britannia.

[@paulcorrea1613]

The King wanted to be a part of the D-Day invasion, but Churchill wouldn't let him.

[@jerrybutler1336]

as i heard it, churchill wanted to land with the troops, the king in his wisdom decided the best way to get his point across was to tell churchill he was going, churchill said no way, we cant spare you, the king said now you have my piint, we cannot spare you mr churchill.............problem solved.....the differnce between knowledge and wisdom

Some think that because he was naturally left-handed but was forced to use his right hand while he was a child caused his difficulty of speaking. Fortunately, this did not happen to me. I am left-handed and my teachers simply accepted it.

[@dfirth224]

That's because you were not alive when kids were forced to switch hands. My dad was born in 1923 and was forced in school to switch. Do you know where this came from? What did people use for hundreds or thousands of years before toilet paper was invented? This is why you are not supposed to shake hands with your left hand. But this does not apply to the ancient Romans, they were more civilized.

[@rogerdugard6709]

Magnifique !

[@TexasSiege]

As an American, this is the one Monarch I hold in high regard. His daughter wasn’t so bad either 😉

[@KevinKitten]

This speech mirrors his call to prayer for the deliverance of the troops from Dunkirk. After that miracle, it's time to return to France.

Glory to God! And now more than ever, in the face of blasphemous Islamic subjugation and tyranny within our own borders, the British people need again to return to God in a spirit of repentance and humility to seek divine intervention and deliverance. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear...

[@vikramtalwar6965]

Excellent thought and testimony to the Gospel of Repentance, Faith and Baptism that we come together in Obedience and Reverence to the Eternal Spirit and Divine intervention.

[@healingbyqurannow]

Islam is simply the third and the final message from God, read your Bible and pay attention Deuteronomy 33 2 this verse means there three messages the second message from Seir which in Bethlehem Christianity but there is a third one from Paran which is Mecca. You follow the message of your time It is a test from God. Jesus Christ PBUH was sent to the lost sheep of Israel the final message for all people. Search Muhammad in the Bible I am only a notifier, none of my business what you do
