George V of the United Kingdom Quote

On hearing the Grenadier Guards playing an arrangement of Richard Strauss' Elektra, he sent a message to the bandmaster:

His Majesty does not know what the Band has just played, but it is never to be played again.


Left Hand, Right Hand (1945), Osbert Sitwell


His Majesty does not know what the Band has just played, but it is never to be played again.

His Majesty does not know what the Band has just played, but it is never to be played again.

His Majesty does not know what the Band has just played, but it is never to be played again.

His Majesty does not know what the Band has just played, but it is never to be played again.
