Coronation of King George VI: Westminster Abbey 1937

Complete newsreel coverage of the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) in Westminster Abbey, 12 May 1937. This was in fact the date originally set for the coronation of Edward VIII, who abdicated in December 1936. Our apologies for the appalling editing of the ceremony itself, which was not carried out by us! With thanks to / britishpathe for permitting this upload under the UA-cam monetization agreement.
