This is your victory! It is the victory of the cause of freedom in every land. In all our long history we have never seen a greater day than this. Everyone, man or woman, has done their best. Everyone has tried. Neither the long years, nor the dangers, nor the fierce attacks of the enemy, have in any way weakened the independent resolve of the British nation. God bless you all. My dear friends, this is your hour. This is not victory of a party or of any class. It’s a victory of the great British nation as a whole. We were the first, in this ancient island, to draw the sword against tyranny. After a while, we were left all alone against the most tremendous military power that has been seen. We were all alone for a whole year. There we stood, alone. Did anyone want to give in? \u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[The crowd shouted “No.”] \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWere we down-hearted? \u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[“No!”] \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe lights went out and the bombs came down. But every man, woman and child in the country had no thought of quitting the struggle. London can take it. So we came back after long months from the jaws of death, out of the mouth of hell, while all the world wondered. When shall the reputation and faith of this generation of English men and women fail? I say that in the long years to come not only will the people of this island but of the world, wherever the bird of freedom chirps in human hearts, look back to what we've done and they will say: 'Do not despair, do not yield to violence and tyranny, march straightforward and die if need be-unconquered.' Now we have emerged from one deadly struggle - a terrible foe has been cast on the ground and awaits our judgement and our mercy.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLe tour du capuchon est également orné d’un extrait du célèbre discours de la Victoire du roi George VI, diffusé au monde entier à 21h le 8 mai 1945. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"There is great comfort in the thought that the years of darkness and danger in which the children of our country have grown up are over and, please God, for ever. We shall have failed, and the blood of our dearest will have flowed in vain, if the victory which they died to win does not lead to a lasting peace, founded on justice and established in good will. To that, then, let us turn our thoughts on this day of just triumph and proud sorrow; and then take up our work again, resolved as a people to do nothing unworthy of those who died for us and to make the world such a world as they would have desired, for their children and for ours. This is task to which now honour binds us. In the hour of danger we humbly committed our cause into the Hand of God, and He has been our Strength and Shield. Let us thank Him for His mercies, and in this hour of Victory commit ourselves and our new task to the guidance of that same strong Hand.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePour écouter le discours du Roi, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"King George VI VE-Day Speech\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WwWvoVvk7IU\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecliquez ici\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUn stylo qui raconte une histoire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mcepastedcontent1\"\u003eLe Conway Stewart VE-Day 80th Anniversary Pen est bien plus qu'un instrument d'écriture : c'est un fragment d'histoire. Façonné avec l'élégance qui distingue Conway Stewart depuis 1905, le roller reçoit une recharge de fabrication allemande au glissé souple. Le stylo est réalisé en acrylique noir haute densité, avec des anneaux en argent massif et une large bague de capuchon poinçonnée attestant sa qualité et sa provenance. Le sommet du capuchon porte le célèbre coquelicot rouge (lest we forget). Ce bouton en forme de coquelicot, guilloché et émaillé au feu, est en argent massif. Mais ce qui rend ce stylo véritablement singulier, ce sont ses gravures : sur le fût sont gravés des mots du discours du VE-Day de Churchill, prononcé devant la foule en liesse, avec des expressions telles que « jaws of death » et « while all the world wondered », qui font résonner la ténacité d'une nation qui refusa de céder ; le capuchon, lui, porte un extrait du discours de la Victoire du roi George VI, en hommage à l'allocution royale qui marqua ce jour historique.\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÉdition limitée à 80 exemplaires dans le monde.
