Succeeded by: his daughter Elizabeth II
Second son of George V he was named Albert after his great grandfather Prince Albert. As The Duke of York he had never expected or wished to succeed to the throne. He was naturally diffident and anxious, and suffered from a speech impediment. But he never lacked bravery or enterprise, and had a strong sense of Duty. He had fought as a young naval officer at the Battle of Jutland in World War I, and was the first member of the Royal Family to learn to fly. In 1923 he married Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. They had two daughters Elizabeth, know as ‘Lilibet’ who later became Queen Elizabeth II, and Margaret Rose ‘Princess Margaret’.
He became King George VI in December 1936 following the death of his father George V and the abdication of his brother. Fortified by the influence of his Queen, who swiftly acquired immense popularity in her own right, George VI coped with the aftermath of the abdication in a way that quickly restored confidence in the monarchy.
When the horrors of World War II descended shortly afterwards on Britain, and on London in particular, the royal couple rose superbly to the occasion. Initially sceptical of Winston Churchill, the King and his Prime Minister soon developed a close personal working relationship and they met regularly to discuss the progress of the War. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth stayed at what they and their subjects saw as their posts all through the Blitz, and showed love and care for their people in gestures that stilled the meanest critics. They narrowly escaped death when bombs exploded beside Buckingham Palace. Their daughters served in uniform, and the identification of the Royal Family with the national will was complete.
Following the War Britain entered a time of economic austerity and the British Empire began to be replaced by the Commonwealth of Nations as former colonies including India became independent. The war effort had been crushing and the King’s health was permanently affected. He had been a heavy smoker and in 1951 had his left lung removed. He died suddenly in the winter of 1952.

i have a package that says its in-transit and that its on the way to the destination but i havent recieved it. its been two days now and i need my package asap
Notified of Delivery on Nov 18, but not received. JCEX JCR0001705171TH 18 Nov 02:15 PM US,King George,VA,22485,Delivered
I’m not even lived here two years and I’ve already had four packages to the wrong address. Twice people of been nice enough to give me my package after it arrived at their house by mistake. But twice now I’ve basically not receive my package at all I don’t know who has it and it’s just money gone for me. I moved here from a city with a lot more residence and I did not have these problems. So I was very surprised when I got to rural area where there is fewer residents that this happens so frequently. I pretty much am sending my packages to my parents house now because they don’t have these issues with their post office and I can actually be assured that I can get my package that way.
I do not understand why certain postal workers do not take the time to deliver packages to the correct address, but will take it upon themselves to return the packages to the sender with out the residents consent! UNACCEPTABLE!!!
I know the package I got today said my name on it and the address but underneath it has a different address on it. This isn’t the stuff I ordered either so you mixed up the boxes

The King George Post Office is wonderful! My husband and I are new residents to King George.Stacy and Mia were so helpful with all of our questions!Thanks Stacy and Mia for welcoming us to King George!!
I am not sure why they would do this, but I just got a package delivered to my house, and instead of putting it by the door.. they put the box on my brother's nice car and scratched it. I doubt he will do anything, but he is out inspecting it right now and flipping out saying he is going to sue for the damages.
Time and time again my packages dont get delivered to my home, despite the tracking claiming to be 'delivered'. Typically amazon orders, they often get sent to another address not at all similar to mine and not even in my neighborhood. This is unacceptable. I have never had this issue anywhere else I have lived. Fix it.
Well my son is on disability because he has cancer anf his check has been put in the wrong box the last two months and it was NOT in our box again this month. So I tried ALL morning to call this location and all morning all I got was a busy sound. And this is what I always get. The boxes it was put in previously but those people knew us and gave it to us however we do not know alot of people here so I can only pray who ever got it this month returns it. I did contact the main post office in Richmond about this because I have tried several times to go to the post office and talk with them but they ALL are very disrespectful and VERY rude. Someone needs to get this post office together and get employees both in the office and properly train the mail carriers. This place us just a bunch of people who get paid to do a job but instead they just collect a check and make it a horrible experience and inconvenience to alot of people. I sure hope something is done and I will continue to call Richmond until they get this place together.

King George Vi Wikipedia
I am very displeased always with the customer service at this post office. The tellers are always unpleasant and rude. I get there before 12pm (their lunch-- which the lady made that very clear), I was the only one in line waiting to be called up for service. While waiting the lady at the desk was asking everyone is it 12 yet because that's their lunch. I was only one waiting and it wasn't 12 yet, and it seemed that she wasn't going to help. Very rude sorry I was a inconvience to you! Also when I FINALLY got helped I asked could I get a mail receipt for my package, and she says, 'we already know that-- that's why people come here'. Thanks I didn't know..
