The King is dead, long live the Queen It is 1952 and Britain is
changing. The Second World War is over, but the country is still
scarred, recovering from six years of horror and still in the grip
of food rationing. The British Empire is crumbling as countries
fight for their independence both literally and physically. And
George VI, the king who had refused to abandon London, is dead.
Thorns in the Crown is the story of a country on the precipice,
divided between those who held firm to old values and traditions
and those who were fighting for modernity and progression.
Featuring memories and reflections of those who were part of the
coronation, Barry Turner presents a unique look at Britain as it
came to terms with the second Elizabethan age.
