Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: The Shetland’s Welcome. DESCRIPTION: Her Majesty’s visit had had to be postponed from last year, but now, from Britannia, the Queen came with Prince Philip to land at Lerwick. The visit was the first made to the Shetland’s by a monarch, since the Norse King Haakon came some 700 years ago. Crofters, fishermen and Lifeboatmen, they all greeted Her Majesty, and there was a Rolls for the royal visitors, a 30-year-old vintage masterpiece. The Queen went to see an exhibition of island produce, and accepted the gift of a pedigree filly, named Valkyrie, when she continued her tour of the islands. SHOTLIST: Key scene. GV Islands.
