Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Northern Ireland’s Welcome. DESCRIPTION: The Queen and Duke arrived in Northern Ireland and were received by the Governor-General, Lord Wakehurst. Before driving into Belfast, Her Majesty and Prince Philip spent a short while looking round Carrickfergus Castle, built in the 12th century. In Belfast, the Queen visited the factory of a leading linen manufacturer. The name Harland and Wolfe is a byword for fine ships.
