Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: The Queen in Wales. DESCRIPTION: Cardiff was waiting with a real Welsh welcome for the Queen. 14 years ago, as Princess Elizabeth, she came to an Eisteddfod, to receive the Bardic title Elizabeth of Windsor. Now, her husband was to be acclaimed in the same way, being made an Honorary Member of the Gorsedd (or Assembly) of Bards. The Prince’s title: Philip Merionydd. Then, to Llandaff Cathedral for a service of thanksgiving for the restoration of the building. Another event during the 2-day visit saw the Queen presenting new Colours to the 3 Territorial Battalions of the Welsh Regiment. Prince Charles and Princess Anne arrived by train from London to join their parents, accompanied by Princess Alexandra and Prince Michael of Kent. The Royal children had a good look round the Arts and Crafts exhibition after hearing some of the Eisteddfod programme and they were given presents. Then, Britannia was waiting to take them on a voyage to the Orkney and Shetland Isles. SHOTLIST: Key scene. GV crowds awaiting Queen’s arrival at Llandaff. MS sign.
