On the cusp of war - what a great PR move for them to go to Canada and the US to garner support for the war effort. It was dark days ahead for many years after. Incredible times and amazing footage.
The Royal Family had a warm welcome! Fantastic!
Finally, a comment on this video!
Wonderful to see this. A time when Britain stood against Tyranny..We needed Canada and later America, along with our Empire for the coming conflict. God bless the United Kingdom.
It's such a shame what's happened to Britain over the last 60 years. I would love to be able to go back to a time when we celebrated our identity and our heritage.
Absolutely immense crowds. Wow
Elisabetta ha perso il cappello per una folata di vento!
They really were full of themselves it would appear.
