Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: The Duke in South America (In Colour). DESCRIPTION: The Andes of Peru were one of the views Prince Philip enjoyed during his tour. A highlight of his visit to Peru was the ascent of Macchu Pichu to see the ruins of Inca buildings. The trip was by rail-car for part of the way. In La Paz, capital of Bolivia, he was entertained to a special performance of devil dancing at the sports stadium. Another highlight was the visit to a mine at Milluni. It wasn’t so much the mine, as the march-past by the miners and their families, all out to pay honour to the royal visitor from Britain. SHOTLIST: Key scene. (2 shots) landscape. GV mountains.
