  A tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, consort to King George VI and mother of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. Year by year Hugh Massingberd explores the life and career of this much-loved figure, from her Scottish childhood and presentation at court as Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon to her marriage to the future King, giving him strength and working at his side throughout World War II, and raising her daughters Elizabeth and Margaret, to her role as Queen Mother - in her nineties still an active member of the royal family - and a keen fisherwoman, gardener and racehorse owner too.
