In August 1990, ITN's Alastair Burnet interviewed Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother to celebrate her 90th birthday. Walking around the garden of the Royal Lodge, the Queen Mother - known affectionately to the public as the Queen Mum - discussed the history of the garden and, in doing so, reflected on the decades of her extraordinary life spent at the Royal Lodge. While reminiscing, the Queen Mother recalled taming the gardens of the Royal Lodge with her husband, King George VI, using the garden to grow food during wartime, and how her great-grandchildren Prince William and Prince Harry enjoyed playing on its lawn. On their tour of the gardens, the Queen Mother and Alastair Burnet were joined by Martin Charteris (Lord Charteris), former Private Secretary to Queen Elizabeth II and a close friend of the Queen Mother.

She was born a Victorian and lived to see the new Elizabethan age. The span of her life was remarkable, as was her legacy of hard work, duty, and curiosity in the world around her, which endeared her so much to so many.

Hard work? She was a nasty little snaggle toothed Nazi troll who never did a days work in her life. Where do you royal rimmers get these ideas from? I know, the constant deluge of fawning press which we all drown in.

It is remarkable to think the Queen Mother was born in 1900. She lived through World War 1 and was a Queen during World War two. She lived to remember the sinking of the Titanic. She lived to see man land on the moon, to the invention of the mobile phone. It is hard to imagine the collection of many memories she must have had. I would have loved to sit down with her and listen to all the remarkable things that she would have witnessed during her long life.

I can say I had the very real privilege of not only being alive during her later years but also recall watching this as a child with my gran and grandpa whom where both avid gardeners, they loved the Queen mother as they where from her generation and also the old King whom my Grandfather often told stories of when i was growing up. She has a kindness to her , a bright twinkle in her smile that would bring happy thoughts even on your darkest of days. The whole country lost something much more than a person when she died. We lost a brightness in the dark, in terms of the struggles that where going on in her later years but not least she was a beacon during the war years as well, much like her late husband. Hopefully if there is an afterlife they are looking down on our nation with still some pride despite the awful things that have happened since her passing at least now she and the King are reunited with our late Queen Elizabeth

The Queen Mother is one of few people who lived through the entire 20th Century, which lasted from 1 January 1901 to 31 December 2000. She is also one of few people who lived from the reign of Queen Victoria to the 21st Century.

I cant believe how much Queen Elizabeth looked so much like her mother and sister… You could easily confuse them for sisters

I have kept reply letters from the Queen Mother which I received to my address in Israel when I was living and working out there in the 1990's, including one diminutive one edged in mourning black just like in the Victorian era when she was mourning the personal loss of Princess Margaret. She really took an interest in letters sent to her, replying by her Lady-in-Waiting.

What a gracious lady. The family stayed at Buckingham Palace all through the blitz almost losing their lives in a bombing.

I agree with other commenters that she moved as she was much younger.And her conversation,fluid and without stops or gaps,reveal that she had still a lot to live,to good live.I love gor many reasons.The way she loved and helped her husband,the education he gave her eldest daughter according to what had been established by the king.And the beautiful words Bertie dedicated to her in his last letter to Elizabeth II, telling her to guide herself by her mothet given that for him she was the most wonderful woman in this world.❤
