A brave and noble King Haakon!

[@MrBulky992]

It's not often you see footage of the late Queen of the UK, being only a Princess at the time, curtsying as she does here to King Haakon.

[@MayaLarsen-y3r]

Just shows she had a good sence of ettiquette and curtursy.

[@rickardnyberg4899]

Prince Henry Duke of Gloucester was clearly there too but is strangely not mentioned even once…

Too bad the king was not well enough too greet his uncle.

[@Ettibridget]

Yes, very sad. But were he and king George VI particularly close? At George's funeral Haakon was seen openly crying.
