  • "This is TV version of the newsreel story ROYAL FILM PERFORMANCE in Pathe News 54/90" - that relates to clip 2703.02.

    "Jane Russell and Stewart Granger are seen getting out of car" - that's Jean Simmons, not Jane Russell, (Russell appears later).

    "John Mills with wife" - his wife is the playwright Mary Hayley Bell.

    "Susan Steel, Peter Finch and Jane Russel (sic) are engaged in conversation" - that isn't Jane Russell, it's an unidentified interviewer, holding a microphone.

    Directly after Steel and Finch, and currently undocumented, we see a close up of CJ Latta and his wife.

    "Mr Hawkes" should read Mr Hawkins.

    At 03:19, currently undocumented, the Queen chats to Sir Philip and Lady Warter.

    At 03:36, the Queen meets actress Brenda de Banzie.

    Then at 03:40 actress Valentina Cortese.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
