The Duke & Duchess of York on their wedding day, 26 April 1923.

"The Duke of York faced with shining eyes and a look of happiness the girl who, hand in hand with her father, was advancing in her lovely old fashioned dress, gleaming with silver and veiled in old lace... they seemed to think of no one but each other.' London Times

Happy Anniversary, Bertie & Elizabeth!

31 March 1952 to Viscount Davidson: "I was so deeply touched by your kindness in sending me the account of your talk with the King, and I want to send you my heartfelt thanks for your thought in writing so charmingly of such a personal and poignant episode. Your little story brings those days back to me so clearly, thơ they always seemed very close to the King & I. In fact only a few days before he died, we were saying how incredibly quickly the years had sped by since we married, & how it seemed only yesterday that we started our life together. Perhaps having lived through such turbulent & troublesome years, made the time go so quickly, there were so many things that we wanted to do, & so many plans we made, but during the War we said, 'after the War', & after the War it was 'when things improve', so alas, they did not materialise very often. As you told me your story so well, & so delicately, I must tell you that we were ideally happy, due to the King's wonderful kindness & goodness and thought for others. I never wanted to be with anyone but him, & during the last ten terrible years, he was a rock of strength and wisdom & courage. So that in thanking you for your letter, I thank you also for the advice you gave the King in 1922. I am, yours very sincerely, Elizabeth R"
