No one ever forgot the superb sight of the stately Queen, a magnificent crown on her tousseled greying head, wearing décolletage that evidenced a full womanly breast, loaded with priceless jewels, and seated column-straight, hands poised eloquently on her cloth-of-gold or silver or creamy ivory or pale pastel lap. The Queen’s Court gowns had no modern connection whatsoever. Elaborate in cut, beaded, gold-and-silver-embroidered, “gusseted, gored, looped, draped, cap-sleeved,” they were uniquely anachronistic; part Empire, part Edwardian. No Royal Jewel collection in the world remained that could compare to hers. At Courts, she liked to wear alternating sets of gems–diamonds and emeralds, or pearls, or sapphires. At state dinners, she often wore an outer rope of a hundred and fifty emormous pearls that fell to her waist, three inner strands, a nine-strand dog collar, pearl-and-diamond earrings, a diamond-and-pearl tiara, and all her brilliant orders.
Matriarch, Anne Edwards, pp. 351-352.

BBC Announcement of the Death of King George VI (February 6, 1952)
This is London. It is with the greatest sorrow that we make the following announcement. It was announced from Sandringham, at 10:45 today, February the 6th, 1952, that the King, who retired to rest last night in his usual health, passed peacefully away in his sleep, earlier this morning.
The BBC offers profound sympathy to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family.
