EVENING STANDARD, London, Feb. 6, 1952 

* King George VI death
* Queen Elizabeth II reigns
* Best title to be had ?


The banner headline announces to the citizens of London: "THE KING IS DEAD" "Peaceful End In His Sleep" with the bulletin headed: "Sandringham Bulletin This Morning" making this a desired same-day report of the death of King George VI. His eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth, became the new Queen of England.
Great to have this account in a British newspaper. Tabloid size, complete in 12 pages, nice condition.
