Film Clip: arriving in Marton

Still shots and description

flags waving at train Queen waves from a train crowds cheer Prince Philip

Shot of the Royal couple waving to the crowds from the back of the Royal train then the film jumps to them walking among the crowds gathered on the street. Many people are waving Union Jack flags.

This silent colour film was made using an 8mm camera by amateur cameraman Mr Edwin Nitschke. We are most grateful to Mr Nitschke's family for making this available to us.
