Can’t imagine a 14 year old today sounding this elegant and being able to connect

Wow! Her first public address was really awe inspiring. She was right, a child then grew up to be an amazing future leader of tomorrow. Great tribute to her

I teared up listening to this. I know my late Father must have listened to this broadcast. He was 6 years old at the time and lived in East End London. His Father had just been killed at the beginning of WWII. He, his Mom and sister were put on a train and sent to live out in the country, away from the regular bombing raids. Queen Elizabeth, even at this young age, provided some hope and stability to a population that was struggling with uncertainty. Her example of selfless service to her constituency should be aspired to by all in leadership positions. Thanks for posting.

As a Brit, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you, not only to you, sir but to all the respectful people who have commented hear. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Such a heartwarming tribute to an amazing person. She gave everything in service to her country and will be greatly missed.

I lost my mom last September. Britain lost their Queen mum today. She was a fine lady. Fairwell Elizabeth II. The speech from 1940 is so elegant, charming and compassionate.

She was practically a child when she gave this speech. Incredible

Im in tears, I visualise what it must have been like for those children, how terrified they must have been and how comforting this message was, it radiates HOPE and that was something the queen was incredible in conveying. She's dearly missed ❤

As an Australian, and therefore a member of the British Commonwealth, I would like you JD in recognising this incredible woman.

This made me cry. 😭😭😭😭😭 the queen was so precious and responsible at a young age. She's one of a kind.

Very thoughtful timing for this presentation. As a baby boomer I grew up knowing only Elizabeth II as queen of the U.K. My mother thought so highly of her being of the same or closely same generation. I don't remember if I ever told you my mother was among the college kids that made fried chicken for Churchill and Truman in Fulton, Mo. I guess that is the closest I ever got exposed to British celebrity. This message is timeless. Tonight I am thanking God for these two beautiful and strong women. These days, however, rather than saying make the world better for our children we perhaps should encourage making our children better for the world. Keep up the fine work, Keep traveling, my virtural friend.

Thank you, JD. I can't think of a better way to pay tribute to her than to use her own voice. Condolences to her family, to the citizens of the UK, and to her admirers around the world.

Queen Elizabeth was a Queen from the day she was born to her last day on this earth. There will never be another and I miss her always. The Monarchy as we New it has gone now, old fashioned values and loyalty. God bless her. 😢

She was an exceptional woman. As an American that was born in the 60's, she has been part of my entire life, not as my Queen but, as a woman of great integrity. RIP Queen Elizabeth and God Speed.

Thank you for this respectful tribute. As much as the country was expecting it, it is still a bit of a shock to the system. At 96 she was still working 48hrs before she died! remarkable lady.

Such a different world she saw as a child. In a way, her death also represents the death of the WWII generation, who overcame some very difficult times at a very difficult cost.

She gave to her country for 70years, she put duty ahead of her friends and family, the crown given to her by the loss of her father king George V1, may she rest in peace beside her husband, may they both rest in peace.

Her speech really summed up the British spirit of adversity. Prepared to fight and defend, even when it appeared the enemy was right at the gate.

Fantastic! when my Dad was in the 8th army air corp stationed at the Debach air base. They adopted what he referred to as orphans. They would write home to get food and other things for Christmas parties. It took us a while to realize that the orphans were the children that were evacuated from London. He took a picture of group of children standing under the wings of a B 17, we still have it to this day.

Very touching speech. If I had listened to this radio as a child in 1940, I would have sobbed a lot.

Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth II thank you for allowing my family to escape the problems in Africa for a better life in England. If it wasn’t for you my family or myself wouldn’t be here. Thank you so much. I’m forever great-full and you’ll be forever missed. 😢

Thanks for sharing, what a beautiful lady, inside and out.

I remember my Mother talking about children being sent to relatives in the U S to keep them safe. A friend of mine’s Mother was sent to the countryside during the Battle of Britain to keep her and her cousins safe from the bombings. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be sent away as a child. How scary it had to be for them. The Queen will be missed, not just by Britain but by everyone around the world. ♥️😢😔

Excellent piece JD! My grandmother was born on the exact same day as Queen Elizabeth II & on their 80th birthdays had the privilege of being invited to Buckingham Palace with my grandfather for a birthday meal celebration, where she spent time with the Queen & Prince Phillip Duke of Edinburgh. Whilst they lived very different lives, there were similarities between them & since my grandmother died in 2020 especially, the Queen has always reminded me of my wonderful Grandma. RIP EIIR & thank you for your service

Thank you for putting something out on short notice

Thank you, for posting this. Showing her at this young age demonstrated the character that she possessed all of her life. There will never be another one like her.

A beautiful tribute to an amazing woman who garnered respect, loyalty and love from the commonwealth and abroad. Rest easy Queen Elizabeth.

Very beautiful tribute♥️

Honestly, what a magnificent monarch she was,

Great tribute...the world has changed with her passing, RIP

Excellent thank you

It takes a compassionate person to recognise another country’s head of state in such a way. I’m a citizen of 2 of her countries and I thank you.

Such a sweet voice

Superb thanks JD never heard it before🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Fantastic release. Very thoughtful of you to do this. Her soul is blessed I'm sure of it.

Hats off to you my friend for putting that out for all of us to hear on this sad day.

So beautifully put together, thank you for sharing Queen Elizabeth's first public address. I have admired her for years, condolences to all the UK people and her Family.

Thank you for this special tribute to a remarkable woman, mother and queen.

Well done your majesty.

Wonderful remembrance. Great tribute to Her Majesty! Thanks JD!

To me, she showed so much class and dignity. She shown all the things that make England great!

That was so moving A credit to you 🇬🇧thank you 🇬🇧 Gold save the king

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

Thank you great video.We are all going to miss our queen an amazing lady such a sad time my thoughts are with her family

Thank you for this!

Love this. Thanks for the sharing. An appreciative Brit.

What a wonderful thing to post at this time - and what a wonderful speech she gave, full of kindness but also understanding, with an underlying sense of toughness which I think we've become accustomed to since she took the throne. RIP Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

Touching, and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you JD well put together tribute for such a great woman.

Thank you for sharing this ..respect to you

Beautifully done tribute sir.

Condolences to our friends across the pond. She was an icon, to say the least. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

What a fantastic idea as a gesture and tribute to our beloved late Queen. Brilliant JD as are all your videos Keep up the superb work. .

No people, no nation, have been so blessed to have had such a remarkable Queen as the British. Even at a mere 14 years of age she had an amazing poise and well spoken manner.

Wow...very touching tribute. Well done again..

Well done, at this time over the pond in Great Britain, that's much appreciated, thank you

Elizabeth II... that's her back then. Myself a person very into world history- it hits me a little to know that she seemed very vibrant just before her passing. I'm American, very patriotic yet that never means that I ignore our allies of decades gone! GOD BLESS THE QUEEN! STRONG THEN, SHE WAS STRONG TO THE END! 🦅🇺🇸💙🦆🇬🇧

JD you are a class act - to find and post this at this moment. A wonderful and fitting tribute to an amazing woman.

THANK SO MUCH for sharing this !!! LOVED THIS SPEECH from our late Queen Elizabeth, she truly was a beautiful and kind soul !!! ❤ And Tha ku 4 ur wonderful channel ....

Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️

She was the epitome of Duty, Honor, Country.

Heart warming tribute to such an amazing woman! Praying for her family and the British people tonight.

Wow. Chills! What an amazingly powerful figure in our history that we actually all got to witness in action. A truly GREAT person.

Nice tribute to a truly grand lady who will be missed. Long lived the Queen from a U.S. Army veteran. My condolences to our most loyal Allies and trusted friends in the U.K. America will ALWAYS stand with you. God save the Queen. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

Thank you JD 🙏 🇬🇧

A wonderful tribute! Well done sir.

She truly was a magnificent woman.

I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for a while now and this was one of the most powerful videos you’ve ever posted from D-Day to Okinawa I’ve been around the world and yet I find myself loving England as a country the most but I must say sir thank you for keeping the history alive you educate thousands!

That’s incredible! Thank you for this! #RIP Queen Elizabeth

That was perfect. Thank you

Very well done , there are few things that hit hard and make me emotional. This did just that. Being here in England as I am it is a somber time right now

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm a 65 year old brit and she's the only monarch I've had and I'd never heard this speech before. May God rest her amazing soul.

Totally approve of this video JD, a moving tribute and remembrance of Queen Elizabeth.

A wonderful tribute to an amazing woman. Thank you.

She understood decency. Wanted that for all. She knew her role. Thank God for her.

Thank you for that. Wonderful, heart warming

Thanks for this tribute JD. I speak as a baby boomer born in the early sixties and unashamedly a monarchist, because the very nature of our constitution means the Head of State has no political power. She has seen political leaders & Governments come and go from both sides of the spectrum but has remained in her service. This elegant lady has been a stoic, steady and constant hand at the tiller for my Country 🇬🇧 and the Commonwealth family of nations in good times and bad. She has shown true leadership and compassion when it was needed most. In 2020 she gave a speech to the nation during the COVID crisis, when political leaders around the World were failing, and using her empathy and experience gave her people the reassurance and hope that we would come through it and be with each other again. A truly remarkable human being who represented a generation whose values have waned with time. God save the King 🇬🇧

Cheers, JD, nice touch matey 👍

Thank you for a great tribute. Very touching. She was a amazing person!

Thank you. A very different and beautiful tribute to HM The Queen, may she rest in peace. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🥺😢

Im not a royalist but im so glad i had Elizabeth as queen. I hope all our future monarchs can live up to her example

Awesome job JD 🇬🇧🙏🏼

Thank you, Your Majesty

That speech sounded vary inspiring and that a amazing tribute

JD. I must express that this is one of the finest pieces you have created, and in such a pivotal moment. Of course the technology today makes the process much less cumbersome, as compared to my college days of cutting and splicing 3/4" U-Matic tape. But the message and tenor of the artist comes through incredibly. A wonderful portrait of one of the last links to the Greatest Generation. May we never forget their sacrifice, resolve, and humility. This is why history education is so important. Proud to be a Patreon supporter of the channel. Keep calm and carry on.

As much as i knew this day was coming, i am still devastated by Her death. That speech is my all-time favorite. Thank you for this very first tribute i've seen. 💔💔💔💔💔 💜🙏⚡️

Cheers JD means alot,...........Thanks 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thank you 😊

That very touching, thanks buddy

Heartfelt Tribute JD, Lifting her family, friends, and Country up in prayers of comfort at this time of loss! Well Done Queen Elizabeth, Well Done!!!!

To think of all the leaders of the world over all these years she has met. Her influence on world events and the legacy of her life, is truly unmatched. GOD bless the Queen and may she rest easy in our hearts.

Great job very inspiring thank you

RIP Queen Elizabeth II. Definitely a fitting tribute, thanks JD She's the only monarch I have actually seen live in public during one of her jubilee tours. This year was her 70th as Queen. Amazing to think of the history she has lived.

We really have no idea of what that generation endured. Her commitment was unwavering.

She carried the weight of the Commonwealth for many years. It will be a long time before we see anyone of this magnitude again. Beautiful job JD. 😢

Beautiful tribute.

This is when the lion witch and the wardrobe was based in during the first part. On another note, this was a really good speech by her, especially at that age, She sounded super brave!

Thanks for this dignified remembrance.

Thank you JD. Queen Elizabeth II RIP and with the greatest respect Thank You for Your Loyalty and Service to us all.
