A Queen Is Crowned (Exempt)

Director Castleton Knight. Written by: Christopher Fry. Documentary


When Queen Elizabeth the Second was crowned on 2nd June 1953, many of Britain's leading cinematic artists were commissioned to create this wonderful record of the event. Narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier, it conveys the sights and sounds, the pomp and pageantry, the very spirit of that unforgettable day. Oscar-nominee and BAFTA-winner, A Queen is Crowned is one of the greatest films of an historical event ever made.

Starring Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip

Well worth showing at local retired venues, or for putting on a special show.

Applause at the end

lovely film, the images and sound were lovely, we totally enjoyed setting this up, but like many on the day had not planned to watch it all. Sadly the attendants at the Jubilee picnic did not really attend the film on the day.
