A Queen Is Crowned

This is more of a film than a simple piece of television broadcasting.

The technicolour is fabulous, colours look so rich and strong, there's been a lovely restoration made, the picture is nicely restored free of grain and flicker.

There's some lovely early footage of the proclamation too, crowds in London, the narration and music too is fabulous I feel like I'm back in the 1950s.

The whites reds and golds inside Westminster Abbey look gorgeous as the ceremony begins such a contrast too the brown and grey dressed crowds.

The carriage is also a work of art and demands to be seen. The narration and music are toned down once the service begins.

The Queen's voice is actually quite quiet during the parts where she speaks. We also get a glimpse of the great and the good as they were in 1953, their images now preserved on film forever. There will probably never be a coronation like this again of such splendour captured on film. Seeing this in high definition is a a real treat.
