Selected Originals - Long Live The Queen Aka Proclamation At The Royal Exchange (1952)

[@MatthewOkot]

A long and glorious reign indeed.

[@animebhai9281]

Yes indeed

[@ForelliBoy]

The mention of the crowds recording King Charles III's proclamation on cameraphones actually left me in awe. Queen Elizabeth's reign started in this black and white film in theaters and the dawn of television in a few homes...and concluded in 4K color available to view on portable devices practically anywhere around the world. Truly glorious weathering the advances in technology and the rollercoasters of global politics with grace and dignity.

Here on this 10th day of September in the year of our most gracious and glorious Lord 2022 after watching the proclamation of King Charles lll. Only noticeable difference was the way the year was said, hats off to the high levels of tradition.

[@Winnieadjeiaddo]

Same here

You sound like dweeb - imagining kings & Queens & Alf & dwarfs in the year of our Todd 2022 😂

[@Danbomaverick]

It's word for word the same as old Charlie boys. Tradition fascinates me

[@MarvinClarence]

No, it’s not word for word. For example, the phrase ‘Gentlemen of Quality’ was omitted for reasons only God and those involved know.

[@losabias4723]

@@MarvinClarence too "binary and sexist" for this woke generation 🤡

[@milaanvigraham8664]

And they also did not say "high and mighty Prince", I can imagine why

[@VictorYong36]

First accession in colour and on television, smartphones and social media on Saturday. Technology has come a long way during the Queen’s reign

[@afirmrose]

A long reign indeed. She will be missed. So glad someone uploaded this.

Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth II.

Whose here after watching Charles III Proclamation?

[@TheGrenadier97]

Happened just recently as it happened in 1952. Traditions are a thing of beauty; unfortunately the modern world has an artificial desperation for ignoring them.

[@stagbeetle1050]

My country abolished Monarchy in 1946 and since then the new republic, like all others, has neglected our national history and our traditions. People have forgotten their identity and their sense of national pride and despise their country and traditions like those of the UK. I envy the English because of this.

[@TheGrenadier97]

Monarchies aren't perfect (what human system is?) but they have something that other types of government don't have: the entire thing of leadership isn't abstract or restricted to the cold letter of law, but literally a family surrounded by concrete symbols of governance and History. This is true when, for instance, some countries asked foreign royals to be their monarchs instead of inventing them out of thin air. Seems fancy but could've been an advantage in Germany in 1919: the embodiment of Germany itself, Kaiser Wilhelm II, would never accept a Hitler to get so much importance.

[@aaroncousins4750]

@@stagbeetle1050 many british people have no pride. And for those that do, the monarchy has no influence

[@peternakitch4167]

A long reign indeed, now we’re at the end of it. Long live the King!

[@QPRTokyo]

Comparing George VI, Queen Elizabeth II and Charles III ‘s proclamations is interesting.

[@jimtalbott9535]

NOONE could have predicted her reign would be how it turned out. Truly remarkable. I was surprised when when exceeded Franz Joseph, just in terms of length - let alone benefit to her nation.

[@drcrisp8538]

[@TheMrpeejoe]

Given at St. James's palace, the 6th day of February, in the year of our lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty two.

[@foreignparticle1320]

I wonder if any one of those people present considered that their new Queen might reign until 2022. I suppose the memory of Queen Victoria's long tenure was only 50 years old at that point... so, possibly!

[@sw9439]

God save the queen ❤

[@dorothysewing9997]

I didn’t know her middle names were Alexandra Mary. I’ve only known her as queen.

[@louicoleman2910]

Would it really have sounded like that, or is this a result of the recording quality being worse than the broadcast quality?

[@pablobenz7734]

[@raphaelledesma9393]

I wonder if when this Proclamation was said, was the Queen still on the way back from Kenya?

[@alfredestrada2729]

In 1952

[@lavablock_yt]

@@alfredestrada2729 yes

[@madabbafan]

No, the Monarch has to be presant to take the oath before the proclamation is made.

[@Aberman1]

……. And so, she lived long

[@iudvomberg8448]

actually surprised that this mustache was still fashionable in 1952

[@GwendolynFarms]

How could this guy still carry a veritable Hitler mustache around, seven years after WW2? I mean, seriously?

[@myrddinemrys1332]

Because it existed both before and after Hitler. He didn't invent the toothbrush mustache.
