The King Is Dead, Long Live The Queen – The Newspapers of 6 February 1952

On the 6 February 1952 the world was paralyzed by the updates on the demise of Lord George VI. His multi year-old little girl, the Princess Elizabeth, succeeded him. Right now post we investigate how the news was broken on that day 67 years back, and how it affected the nation and to be sure the remainder of the world.King George the 6th is dead. The entire Country and Domain was staggered by the news which originated from Sandringham at 10.45 am to-day. It reported that the Lord, who resigned to rest the previous evening in his standard wellbeing, passed calmly away in his rest early at the beginning of today. He was in his 57th year, and the sixteenth year of his rule. The BBC communicate the report from Sandringham at 11.16am 'with incredible distress.' Princess Elizabeth had started her Republic visit with spouse the Duke of Edinburgh, and was in Kenya at that point. As per the Aberdeen Night Express: 'The radio call from Britain was steered to the Princess through a little nation post office set in the Kenya open country. It took about thirty minutes for the call to be appropriately associated and built up from London with the goal that the Princess could get it. The new Sovereign promptly chose to fly back to London.' In a miserable incongruity, the Sovereign flew once again into London City Air terminal, where she had last observed her dad. Without a doubt, it was the last time that she and the overall population had seen the Ruler. He had gone to the air terminal to say goodbye to his little girl as she withdrew on her Province visit, and he looked 'well and bright' as indicated by paper reports. The state of mind of the whole country was one of stun, and the country, as of late recuperated from World War II and the Barrage, was not effectively stunned. Ruler George VI had been something of a nonentity during those wartime years, and the updates on his demise was welcomed by skepticism. For sure, the Portsmouth Nightly News reports how 'Phone trades were clogged by guests looking for affirmation of the news, and numerous switchboards were shut down briefly.'
