Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Queen at Hellivod. DESCRIPTION: On the evening of the first day of the visit, the Royal guests and their hosts drove to the Christiansborg Palace for the State banquet. A glittering, regal occasion, in a magnificent setting. A highlight of the next day was the inspection of Copenhagen’s famous brewery. Denmark is famous for its porcelain and the Queen drove to the Royal Copenhagen factory where workers charmingly presented bouquets. Her Majesty accepted a gift, consisting of a set of ten beautiful porcelain figures. At the Royal Theatre there was a large and distinguished audience for a gala performance of the Danish ballet, attended by the Queen and Prince with their royal hosts. This visit to Denmark was the first paid by a reigning British Sovereign, and was obviously a huge success. SHOTLIST: Queen waving from horse drawn coach. Back shot of coach at Christiansborg Palace.
