The 919 Local Business Network

A short film that tells the story behind the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster. Its origins at the beginning of WWII and its rediscovery in a bookshop in England in 2000, becoming one of the iconic images of the 21st century.

Hey Gaynor, I'm happy to find that I was able to add some magic to your day. :o) I randomly happened across this short film and just HAD to share it. I love the message, and I find that short films like this are the perfect format for reminding me what really matters. Plus did you see that bookshop?? What a amazing and inspiring place! They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

David - I absolutely loved this! I grew up 30 mins from Alnwick and had no idea about the history of the Keep Calm and Carry On poster. I have a version of this framed on my desk. It reminds me of the British stiff upper lip. Thank you for sharing this.
