"He actually delivered the speech standing at a lectern in an anteroom, with the window open and his jacket off. Only Lionel Logue was allowed in the room with him and he advised the King to forget everyone else and just say the speech to him, as a friend. His delivery was calm, dignified and measured. At the end of the broadcast Logue finally called him 'Your Majesty’." - telegraph.co.uk
