In Queen's calm voice, a memory of war: Harold Evans

It's 1940. The winter evenings are getting colder. I'm huddled with my parents around the radio listening to future Queen Elizabeth calm us with her promise that "the world of tomorrow will be a better and happier place." It's much more effective than Neville Chamberlain's woeful announcement months before in 1939 that we were at war with Germany. "He feels more sorry for himself than he does for us," said my mother at the time. Elizabeth cheers us.
