DVD The Royal Wedding 1947
20th November 1947, Westminster Abbey HRH Princess Elizabeth & Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten.
This amazing film of the Royal Wedding was shot by the late Jack Cardiff, a pioneer cameraman working with the then new Technicolor process in the 1940s.
It contains never-before-seen footage in full colour of the processions at Westminster Abbe and afterwards at Buckingham Palace of the wedding of HRH Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in the autumn of 1947.
This ‘lost’ film becomes available now due to the fact that a copy was given by Jack Cardiff to his friend Ralph Pulley, who worked at Technicolor after the war. It has remained in the Pulley family ownership ever since.
This film has not been digitally enhanced, the footage and soundtrack are as on the original and it provides a wonderful reminder of the times and people involved in this momentous event.
Approx run time 30 mins.
