Summary
COI synopsis: A tour of Windsor Castle and town, lying a short distance from the heart of London. The film refers briefly to the building of the Castle and additions to it by later Sovereigns; and shows portions of it, including the richly decorated State Apartments. Some of the old buildings within the town are viewed, and the daily bustle of Windsor’s streets is enlivened, as it often is, by the Changing of the Guard. There is a short sequence on Eton College.
