Loved seeing this video. Her Grace is the reason that Chatsworth has been saved throughout the years. I admired her so. May she RIP.

The Cavendish family all seem so very kind. I have seen various films about them and whenever this and the current Duke give a speech they always seem genuinely grateful to those who have come to join them and also their staff who work for them.

That is a solid couple . After all those years they still genuinely loved & admired each other . Lovely to witness .

We can still learn a lot from these wonderful older couples by their devotion and loyalty to each other and the importance of tradition in families.

It must have been a wonderful day for all the guests and so thoughtful of the Duke and his wife

What a sweetheart bunch! These were the War Generation who carried on doing the ordinary human things like love & marriage despite the desperate times in which they lived.

Debo was possibly the most normal of all the Mitford sisters and the one who ended up eclipsing all of them!

OMG talk about memory lane! This is fantastic! Believe it or not as children in Catholic school in the USA we used to sing all of these old band songs in performances on stage for our parents! Very enjoyable.

These wonderful events always sound better than they turn out to be. Charming surroundings. — but one feels sorry for so many elderly couples cooped up together — for a cup of tea in a drafty marquee. Some of them do look as tho they’d have been happier staying at home.

The late Duke and Duchess of Devonshire seemed a lovely couple. Their interview is a real gem. I've several of Debo's books, it's nice to hear their voices. Incidentally, anyone know the band(s) playing?
