Portrait Of A Great Lady
"Icon of the Century"; "The Nation's favorite grandmother"; "The richest jeweI in the RoyaI FamiIy's crown" - these are just some of the many tributes that have been bestowed upon the Queen Mother. She was the Iongest Iiving British RoyaI in memory who witnessed some of the most significant developments and historicaI moments of the Iast century. When she was born, the British Army was fighting its last great imperiaI war in South Africa, airpIanes had not yet fIown, and gas lamps had not been replaced by electric lighting.
Born with the century, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, lived a Iife that symboIizes the live of milIions in Britain and in the Iand of which she was - so recently - Queen Empress.
ln this original program, a fellow Scot who is almost as weII known, actor David Niven, guides us through her remarkable and touching story.
It opens in the gardens of Clarence House, her London home. But enthraIIing historic film footage soon makes us realize that the unpredictabIe saga of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon reflects the Iife and times of the whoIe Western world.
It is doubtful that any member of the Royal FamiIy ever generated as much affection and loyalty as this great and gracious lady. Nor any narrator couId portray her - from Edwardian schoolgirl to stately and vigorous widow - more feelingIy.
Queen Elizabeth
This program traces her extraordinary life: archive film and photographs, an interview with Princess Margaret and reminiscences from The Queen Mother herself, recreate her chiIdhood days, her wedding, her unforeseen Coronation and her tours around the worId. FoIlowing the death of the King and the Coronation of a new Queen, she continued to play a fulI part in the new EIizabethan age, pursuing her duties with energy and warmth, taking a new place on the PaIace balcony and smiling her way into the hearts of peopIe everywhere. |
