In Memory Of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - Picturing Elizabeth: Her Life in Images

£12.99

Released: 13th March 2023. With the longest reign of any Monarch in British History, Queen Elizabeth II presided over an era of monumental change across the 20th and 21st centuries. Through these four extraordinary documentaries, we follow some of her most defining moments, from her unique coronation to her sympathetic and inspiring speeches. With singular access and painstaking detail, we see how her legend was crafted, and take a peek behind the curtain to get a sense of the woman who was Queen. PICTURING ELIZABETH: HER LIFE IN IMAGES During her reign, The Queen became the most visually represented person in the whole of human history.  From stamps and coins to formal portraits and snatched press photos, her image became an integral part of our everyday lives.  The importance of what has become, in effect, a Royal “brand” developed throughout her time on the throne. ELIZABETH:  FASHIONING A MONARCH In this special tribute Fiona Bruce looks at how, across the decades, The Queen used her wardrobe to fashion a style that came to perfectly reflect her dedication to duty. ELIZABETH: HER PASSIONS AND PASTIMES In this film we will celebrate the life of The Queen through the passions and pastimes of our longest serving monarch.  What did The Queen really enjoy?  Where and when did she most relax?  What absorbed and entertained her?  From horses and dogs to TV, film, music and theatre, we will reveal the tastes and affections that gave Her Majesty the most pleasure. WHEN THE QUEEN SPOKE TO THE NATION The remarkable story of when the Queen spoke directly to the nation. Her Christmas message was an annual tradition, but the Queen also made a special broadcast at times of national crisis, commemoration, and celebration.
