Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Royal Visit to Portsmouth. DESCRIPTION: The Queen, accompanied by Prince Philip, arrived to perform the opening ceremony of the new Guildhall, risen from the ruins of 1941. After the keys of the Fortress were duly presented to Her Majesty, she then made a speech. A visit to the Submarine Command at Gosport was the next royal engagement. The Queen went across by barge on her way to present the Queen’s colours to HMS Dolphin. The parade was on the playing field. Also present were forty-eight members of the Submarine Old Comrades Association. The ceremony ended with a march-past in salute to Her Majesty. SHOTLIST: FS cars arrive (key). GV Guildhall.
