- Summary
- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Big Hand for Kennedy. DESCRIPTION: Paris, Vienna, then London. At the airport, a welcome was offered on the Queen’s behalf. Then, the Premier greeted Mr Kennedy and his wife Jackie, who was accompanied by Lady Dorothy. There was a Naval Guard of Honour for the ex-Naval President. In his speech of welcome, the Premier referred to Mr Kennedy’s meetings on the Continent, and the President had some nice things to say. On the drive to London, and throughout their visit, the American visitors got a really big hand all the way. Their destination was a house in Westminster, the home of Prince and Princess Radziwill, Jackie’s sister. One important engagement (of a strictly private nature) was the christening of Jackie’s niece Anna Christina Radziwill at Westminster Cathedral. Later in the day, the President and Jackie were leaving Buckingham Place for Buckingham Palace to dine with the Queen and Prince Philip. A happy conclusion to a whirlwind visit. SHOTLIST: Key scene.
