Thank you CyrilVladisla for sharing the video!

The King and Queen looked very happy in Hertfordshire. I did not know that The Queen Mother was baptised in All Saints church near St Paul's Walden Bury.

What was the occasion or was it simply Sunday worship?

I have no idea where to put this question except that I normally frequent the British Royal Forums and WWII happened during King George VI reign. Moderators, if there is a better forum to put this in, please do so. Here is my question: I plan to read this book on WWI because from what I have read it seems to be a one book synopsis of WWI for the non-historian and gets excellent reviews. Is there a similar book on WWII for the non-historian that would give a general understanding of it---certainly not detailed? I would be willing to read a set of books as long as they don't require a degree in history to understand. Thanks.
