THE QUEEN’S CORONATION IN COLOUR

This film takes us behind the scenes of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, arguably the most elaborate ceremony of the 20th century,

to celebrate not only the Royal Family and those who masterminded the Coronation but the people from all walks of life who contributed to making it a unique occasion. The film weaves together eye-witness testimonies from those at the heart of the action and those who remember watching the magical day unfold either alongside the procession route in London, or on televisions across the world. Presented by British actor Alexander Armstrong.
