Royalty. King George V and Queen Mary visit Tyneside; this story shows them in a variety of activities & settings. Giving medals at large event in stadium/ street with cars and crowd. religious ceremony; King and Queen; several priests; on platform by statue; with church in BG. here it starts to jump around -- King & soldiers walking; then very dark shot. wild shot looking toward light coming from open wide entrance; like a barn door; with several people silhouetted in front of it.
Queen; along with a few men in various uniforms; & children skipping along; walking through a rugged stark northern England working-class area past machinery; factory; shipbuilding (great shot of shipyard with bow of huge ship in BG); high brick wall sort of things;sometimes past people clapping & waving. This is some cool stuff. back to the ceremony in the stadium; K & Q meet a little boy and mother. Quick jump to King reviewing troops/Church again. And back to ceremony.
