Welcome the Queen!

Another of the half-dozen or so films released in 1954 about the six-month-long tour of the Commonwealth taken by Queen Elizabeth and Philip. This one covers the same world-wide territory as most of the others, but gives more time and footage upon the Queen's return home. She and Philip come up the River Thames (joined by Charles and Anne), through the streets of London by motorcade, and make an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to the estatic cheers of thousands all the way.
