the crown (2016) - churchill declares a new elizabethan age has begun

churchill (john lithgow) finally delivers the broadcast eulogy he spent the night agonizing over, honoring the late king as a beloved monarch who carried the weight of the crown through invasion, war, and unimaginable pressure without ever losing his nerve, and describing his death as one that came peacefully, "as a friend," after a happy day and a goodnight to those he loved. he then turns from grief to hope, invoking queen elizabeth i to frame elizabeth's ascension as the start of a new elizabethan age, closing on the anthem he says he's thrilled to invoke again: god save the queen. season 1, episode 2: "hyde park corner" watch the crown now: http://AAN.SonyPictures.com/TheCrown some of the links above are affiliate links; we may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. the crown follows the reign of queen elizabeth ii, tracing the political rivalries and personal sacrifices that shaped the british monarchy from the inside out. you love it here. admit it. subscribe: ‪@grlcoded‬ #thecrown #johnlithgow #winstonchurchill #queenelizabeth #hydeparkcorner
