Film clip: arrival in Waipawa

Still shots and description

Royal car drives by crowds Queen waves Ecstatic children

The Royal train pulls up to the station and the waiting crowds cheer wildly. The Queen is greeted by local dignitaries.

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.
